Auto-join is broken/make it a queuing system please

[PR0_SNIPE]

I just tried to auto-join a server with 99/100 with 2 personal slots so I set it to 98. I could not cancel it once it started to join the server. I had to close it by the task manager.

Can you please add in a queuing system in place of the current 'auto-join' system because it simply does not work. Here's an example: I expect that most people do what I do, that is clicking on another server and then back on to the one that you want to get in to. I do this repeatably until its 97/100 where I can join. 9/10 of the time someone else has already taken the spot by the time I double-click the server to join. I've done this ever since because the auto-join feature just doesn't work. Its too slow to click the server once its detected that there's a spot every 5-second interval and then it would just say there's no spots open and then takes me back to the server browser again.

A queuing system like, 'You are in position 3 of 8.' and then updates in real time until you get into the server would be a life saver on my future arthritis.

Thanks.

Yeah, it's been pretty much useless since it was implemented. Only works if there's a password because that takes time to type in for those joining manually, but with anything else you always get beat by manual joiners. Server refresh should be in milliseconds, not 5 seconds.

Don't think it uses a queue just a space when the times up.

IMHO should send people to seed another server instead.

If there is a mumble lobby server before mumble connects to the game server you are loading into then may be thoes people who are waiting to join a server can chat and disscus all joining a quiet server to seed. instead of 20 players waiting for one spot.


is there a way to have it so when the game launches you join a mumble lobby channel, central PR mumble server before switching to the mumble hosted by the game server provider.

Might work, might be full of mindless nonsense.

Bind a mute mumble key, thats what I do at the end of every round. mine mine mine mine mine mine gets old real quick.

tbh you are right may be more hastle than its worth.

The auto-join thingy seems broke when there are 64+ players on a server. We'll look into it, thanks.
