View Full Version : On automatching

I found that when automatching alot of times I have to wait a while to get into a game. When it does I'm often chating with someone and get removed to the loading screen without any warning. It would be nice if a 10 second or so timer would start before the game loaded so you could tell whoever it is you are talking to that you have a game starting.

Also when trying to join a normal game its impossible to find particular game. Either remove auto refresh all together, or make it so they add to the bottom and not bump the whole list.

Just my two cents.

I would suggest playing a sound and turning that "cancel" button into a "start game" button once a game has been matched.

That way you can quickly say goodbye and enter your match as soon as possible, also possibly add a 10 second counter or so to make sure you dont have to wait indefinately for your opponent to get ready.

Haven't managed to get my autoconnect to work yet, it keeps saying 1/4 players connected, then looks like its ready to load, then just fails and restarts.

That would work for me.
