"Game start" timing issues
Posted: 03 October 2020, 12:01
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..
