"Express start" not available anymore

Post by zigareth »

Hello,

Nice to be here in the fourm. I've been reading the Dev Manual, and setup the SFTP, included in in Visual Studio Code for synchronization.
As soon as I added a new file in the /img (as per the hearst tutorial), I can not start a game in "Developer mode". I don't have access to "Express start" as I had before. I access the game from my games and then click "Play", this opens a page with my tutorial game (which I favorited) and Magic Maze, and can only start the game "normally", ie BGA waits for players to join my game.
I just want to "Express start" it.

How does it come the developer options for starting my game are gone ?

Thank you.

I can see express start on my games, are you logged in as your devuser0 account?
You are starting your own game right? Not actual hearts?

Absolutely, I'm logged as my XXXX0 account, and playing my own game (not hearts).

I access my game through Control Panel > Manage Games > Tuto (the name of my game) > Play link (https://studio.boardgamearena.com/lobby?game=4772)

Will try reverting my changes and see how it goes.

Ohhh, just understood what you meant by "manual mode".
I don't know how this moved to automatic, probably because I played a game with my main account !
Switched to manual mode and recovered the developer features, thank you !
