New game start rule?

[armymp7101982]

When I finish a game, and click “play again,” it takes me back and immediately starts searching for games of any parameters with any opponents. I usually stick to 2p games, so if this is a new setting, is there a way to disable it?

Yeah, because I’m in the habit of hitting start when it goes up, I have joined multiple games that are 3-4 player (very different from 2p), and end up dropping ELO significantly against players and games I didn’t want to play, but thought I was clicking into games that matched my preferences.

It’s a trash setting if its a new change.

Yeah, I got two karma hits this weekend because of that. Finish my game and I always hit Play Again or whatever it is, just so it takes me back out to the Space Base game page. Was informed by someone in a game last night that this new action means hitting that button puts you back in a queue.

Which would be fine if the queue were the same setting as when you start a new table, but nope, just drops you into any table with any player. Trash modification that no one asked for

I hate the new rule.
Either change it back to what it was before (link to game screen) or at least if you start a game by default keep the prefered settings.

It's terrible. I'm getting karma/ELO hits while the matchmaking page tells me it's still searching for 3 more players. No notification, no way to know it's waiting on me. I was staring at the screen ready and waiting for 10 minutes, and got nothing until I'd apparently already been booted.

Per https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... 08#p220908 today's release includes ""Play again" button from table result screen no longer starts matchmaking queue".
