Boardgamearena automatic lobby problems

Post by asd123321 »

1. It is now forcing us into automatic lobby mode if it is on in one internet page.
I like to have both on simple and automatic at once in different pages.
2. Games are left waiting for players even though I have started playing something
else.
3. The question, are you sure you want to leave automatic even though you have games
open is just a nuisance and should be removed.
4. The automatic lobby doesn't reset Cancel to Play Now when we play some other
game anymore.
5 After a while, the only games it has open are for players exactly at your level.

Hello,

Sorry but the Simple lobby is not designed to be used at the same time than the standard lobby. It seems to be the cause of all your problems.

Hope this helps.

Issue 5 is a long standing quirk not related to having both lobbies going.

The table creation depends on the options you have chosen. So if you want to report a problem in table creation with the simple lobby, you have to describe the options you have selected (the best would be a screenshot).

It starts off with 1 table Lords of Xidit specifying average or better, which is correct, and 2 requiring strong only and after a while the first one disappears.

It seems that for this game (and maybe others), you still have a value selected that has now been invalidated for "opponent level" option. That may be the reason of the trouble. Can you reset this option, reconfigure it to your taste and try again?

I reset the opponent level option and it is the same as before.

Ok, I managed to reproduce, this seems to happen in the case when the preferences for opponent levels are not progressive (only one valid preference or all preferences set with the same priority). We are looking into it.

We found and fixed some troubles with specific options combinations. It should work as expected now!

It now start 5 identical tables of Armadora and none of Lords of Xidit even when I tried it by itself.
