"Game start" timing issues

Post by seaMonster36 »

1)Is there a timeout for the game organizer to start the game once, say the quorum of players is there ?

2)Unrelated : Has anyone else noticed some instability like this around game start: people will show "left the game"/"joined the game" in the game discussion multiple times within a few seconds - then usually if all goes well the game starts, otherwise I find myself back at the "play now" screen, and have to click "play now" again to be told "you've got a real time game in progress" and get a link back to the table..
Seems like 9/10 joining the game just works, but 1/10 it's messy.

3)Asking to understand what I can do better, because I just got my first "leaving game early" warning yesterday , on same kind of confusion - I clicked "cancel game start" after some minutes of apparently being all ready and waiting, and somehow that lost me a bunch of ELO and got this warning - whereas for all I could tell the game hadn't started..

It goes into some stupor or paralysis at game start and I have to hit F5 and GO TO GAME.
It has started with less than the required people when someone quits just as it starts which
wrecks the game .

So this just happened again - seems cost me 30 ELO again :(
It seems this happens on For Sale, and asd was in the game this time as well.
I wanted to Raise a Bug , but clicking that did nothing.
I refreshed the screen by pulling down, but that too did nothing.
Every attempt to change the Menu did nothing.
I think I will Raise a Bug, unless witness accounts of this being normal on Android start pouring in...
