hotfix needed

Postby lapefangirl » 06 Jun 2018, 02:39

when a game starts please make it start flashing red or something in the bottom. Like 1 person always takes forever to check in and they are pretty much ruining my user experience.

It also starts a cycle of people not wanting to x in and watch the lobby screen. If it would just notify when game is launched this would be really good, \

I believe both clients notify you when the game is full. I'm not sure what you mean after start, that someone takes forever to "check in"?

I think the lobby full notification is again what you're looking for.

the game notifies when it is full but it does not notify when the game is launched. So instead of having to watch people x because they are afk people un x themselves because they don't want to be afk when game launches.

If there was a notification when game is launched there would be no stress to lobby siming and people can be x'd without being in lobby. Not to mention you won't end up with people that are actually afk x'd and ruining game experience by forcing rehost.

And you still end up pausing at 0:00 because you need to be sure that everyone that x'd up was actually at the pc when you launched.

people that are going away from their computer would obviously un-x before doing so

this is for people that rather do something else instead of watching a lobby window waiting for everyone x. You have one warning for lobby is full so you can x, then you have another warning when game is launched so you dont have to wait for everyone to x.

Quite simple and there is no counter argument or better idea.

another important case is when u r waiting for ranked for 15 minutes there is no big noise to say its actually launching.

you can hear the gate in animation if u use windowed mode but thats a poor solution, especiallh if u pass the time using replays.

would be great if lobby had an option to make a notification on custom game launching And ranked launching. the lobby or the game could produce the sound but fullscreen users would miss an ingame noise
