Setting up automatch
-
@sheikah Hmm, seriously should we be sitting waiting for three minutes? I usually give up around the 40 second mark as it seems safe to assume someone has had an issue....
-
Not necessarily because sometimes it can take a while for everyone to launch the game and connect
-
Games sometimes launch after a surprising amount of time. It could be that someone needs to still download/generate the map and there is no advantage in cancelling early when the next queue pop will only be in three minutes anyway.
-
I think there is merit in waiting until the next matching time is down to like 15 seconds (0:15). That way, you theoretically waited for close to 3 minutes, and you can still join the next queue cycle before it reaches 0:00. In my experience, a notable portion of matches actually do connect in the 2nd or 3rd minute if everybody waits.
-
If there is a loading screen that lets you know what the other players are doing: Downloading the map, launching the game, connecting to players, etc. similar to tft then I think less players will leave.
-
it waits around 2 minutes 30, then kicks all so they can join the next round.
From my experience
-
5 seconds

More informative text is planned afaik, just hasn’t been done yet. I took a stab at it but never got to the point where it was ready to PR.

@scout_more_often Yes. I often get past setting up automatch after 2 mins
-
Thanks all, I make sure to wait longer now. Definitely would support some more explanatory text onscreen explaining all of the above

How come it takes longer in TMM compared to a hosted game?
In a hosted game somebody connects in about 20 sec. Even multiple people at the same time.
