Auto Deploy works great for me! Love it!

I have to say that when I first saw this thread about auto deploy, I was quite skeptic. I was sure it won't work or does not provide any added value. But I was so wrong. Despite being a simple idea it really works great. I just select my favourite server, which usually is full, click auto deploy and go doing something else for a while. When I get back to computer, there is spawn screen waiting Awesome! Thank You!

Thanks for the comments. It's definitely a simple idea, but something that is often so useful.

Yes, spam-clicking the server is much quicker than Auto Deploy, but this was designed for people to start Auto Deploy, then go away and do something else in the meantime (get food, browse the net, whatever). You are more than welcome to continue spam-clicking the server if you want to get in faster.

Changing the refresh time is something that won't happen however, because with that comes more issues, such as increasing the chance that someone may join at the same time you join, and one being refused connection because it's full. This is because there is a tiny delay between joining the server and taking the slot, and the current player number updating. The 5 second refresh time helps to alleviate this issue. It's better to have a 5 second delay and possibly join a bit later, than coming back after getting food or whatever and seeing a "server is full" message, and having to begin the process again.

A waiting list or queue, sure, there are ways of doing this, though none of which are possible with the BF2 flash engine unfortunately. Put another one down to hardcoded.

Oh, something else that a few have commented on elsewhere. This can't be used in the LAN or Favourites server browser due to the way Auto Deploy works, and how those browsers refresh. It only works in Internet or Training server browsers. Bit annoying, especially for the Favourites browser, but if your trying to join a full server from Favourites, it'll be at the top of the Internet server browser anyway if you sort by players (default).

Lol sneaky little ninja

Love auto deploy. It seems to work better than click spamming for me

Giving my thanks for this feature. By far the best change......spam clicking gave me indigestion!!

yes sweet work Ancient , you are always making the game better

@AncientMan

The 5 seconds are just right! GJ!

Perfect!

Yeah, that come handy

I like auto deploy but on some servers it tells me that the server name is too long to do the auto deploy. Figered I would let you know.

How can you alt-tab PR and still use auto-deploy ? It just doesn't work on my computer (the process is just paused when I get back to desktop). I'd like to launch autodeploy and, IE read the PR forum while waiting for a room.
Good job BTW

LOve it!!!
