Do not deactivate queue mode when another player refuses to start a game

When you use the "Play Now" functionality (in automatic mode), and you reach the screen to Accept/Decline a game, if one another player refuses to start the game, you are brought back to the lobby and are no longer in queue mode.

And therefore you have to click the "Play Now" button again.

:arrow: The suggestion is to ensure that you remain in queue mode until a game has started effectively.

Of course, precautions are to be taken to avoid staying in queue mode forever (e.g. with a timeout if you take too long to accept etc.)

Cheers,
Y.

Furthermore, to reduce this problem, please let there be some way to automatically refuse if the player number changes. Sometimes I will have a person repeatedly start a game before the originally suggested amount of players enters and it can be difficult to leave the lobby in time before another suggested start.
