"Deploy Now" Button On Auto Deploy.

Hey,

This is a quick little addition that'll make it easier to join a server and make the menu part of PR a bit better. Sometimes (mainly when I just start Auto Deploy) on Auto Deploy it says 63/64 players 5 seconds w.e, or if I have a friend on Vent/TS in the server they tell me there's a space - but by the time Auto Deploy Updates the space is gone.

A nice little "Deploy Now" Button next to the close button would be a nice touch, and shouldn't really take that long, should it?

A nice addition, in the meantime you are closing the details and hitting deploy on the server list to achieve the same immediate joining right?

I like this suggestion and could have sworn there was a Deploy button on the details screen already.

on the details there's Deploy and Auto Deploy, with Auto Deploy you put in the max players and it refreshes every 5 seconds until there's a space - there's a separate screen for this which just has "Close", but sometimes it'll say 63/64 or someone will tell you that there's a space during the 5 seconds and it'd be nice to be able to hit deploy, as waiting for the 5 seconds/closing the screen takes too long and the space will be filled on big servers.

The point of Auto Deploy is that you hit the button, leave computer doing it's job and make yourself a sandwitch or something. When you come back to your computer, there is kit selection screen waiting.

-I find Auto Deploy to be pretty useless as anybody refreshing the servers will always get in before anyone using Auto Deploy, and if the Auto Deploy tries joining the server thinking it's got an open space using its seconds old info it will stop the Auto Deploy and then you have to manually restart it again, which isn't much of an Auto Deploy feature.

It will Still do that. But sometimes I've felt myself wishing there was a Deploy now button when my clan mate is yelling "Join quick" down my ear hole. The Auto Deploy will work exactly the same - just with this little button in too.
