BGA making games for no reason

Post by vision_m »

So I made a couple open games but now BGA keeps creating a game when I don't do anything. I will press quit game but then it Immediately makes another open game. What is going on? how can I stop this?

It will do this if you started searching for a game in "Automatic" mode until a game starts.

To stop it, leave the "queue" for games by going back to the "play now" section. https://boardgamearena.com/lobby, change the menu settings to whatever you used to queue for a table (Normal/Realtime etc), and Automatic. There should be a timer over the game (waiting for players...) and a cancel button.

ah but that canceled the game that I was waiting for opponents as well as the other that I didn't want. In other words I just wanted to make 1 game not 2 and it kept making 2. I was just about to start a game but now it is canceled :(

Automatic mode will create multiple tables with different settings until one fills up. There will be a delay before it starts creating tables with your “not preferred” settings.

If you’d prefer to have more control over this process, I would recommend setting up the table manually.
