Join game lobby is spazzy

I don't know if it's just me, but when i try to join a game the lobby just goes crazy flashing any game with any amount of people in it so fast that i can barely click the game and join before it just disappears off the list, then reappears seconds later taunting me.

I have noticed this to. Not quite sure what is going on. It happens from time to time, maybe high load or bad connection

definately an issue for me as well.

Nearly impossible to play now. What is going on? Can't click on any games to join.

Was reported on bugtracker as well: PA#3034

Not super quick, but the games do tend to appear and disappear, with other games appearing, every few seconds. I thought it was my connection, but apparently not.

What sometimes happens is I click on a game, and it disappears before I can click on join.

Maybe it's a feature to increase your APM

For me it's was way faster than on video.

- Demonstration

yeh that's my problem too.

maybe if everyone votes on the bugtracker SXX linked to, it will draw more attention to it.

As a temporary workaround you could try to make a change in the file <PA Installation directory>/media/ui/alpha/server_browser/server_browser.js
On line 362 change this:

Code:

setInterval(model.updateServerData, 1000);

to this:

Code:

setInterval(model.updateServerData, 5000);

That will change the refresh time from every second to every five seconds (5000 milliseconds). Then you at least have time to select a game and press "JOIN". Of course this means that you will sometimes have no games displayed for five seconds either... The behaviour will probably stay the same as in the videos above, but just slower.

We've made a back-end change that should significantly reduce the "flashing" in the games list screen. Let me know if you're still seeing this behavior.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
