Pre-game speedup

#1 Post by TheDanMan » Thu Aug 03, 2023 8:45 am

Heya.
Its my first time on this site and I have set up a game with friends but the pre-game I set starts pretty far from now. is there a way to speed it up once the lobby is full or do you have to wait the whole duration before it will start?
thanks for the help :)

Once it is full, it will start.

ah if that is the case can I check what the
"7 players joined; game will start on next process cycle"
means exactly? is it saying that it will take the full length of the chosen phase length before starting?

No, it means new games once filled are started by a scheduled process that runs at a predefined interval. However, for reasons we're still investigating, sometimes a game won't start. If you can post here the game ID / name, or if you write to the mod forum, we will start it for you

Yep this is a bug, it doesn't start when the game is full as it should at the moment (except bot games). Will resolve asap
