It has finally annoyed me enough, so I made this little mod. What it does: Simple, when you fail to join a game, you will now get back to the server browser instead of the main menu. Additionally the transit screen with the LOGIN FAILED message will not bore you to death with its artificial 5 second delay, but go away much faster. I might extend this mod later on so that when you leave a game you also get back to the server browser, or also when you are kicked from a game (at least I think this case exists, not too sure from memory). But these didn't annoy me enough yet. Should be on PAMM in a few minutes. Is now on PAMM.
Any chance to have the same behaviour when you leave a lobby ? This is annoying as hell too Uber should really do something about this menu navigation / breadcrum trail Thank you for optimizing the UX
As I use the PA stats 1v1 button a lot could you add that to like the bottom or something? Cola_Colin might be able to help you out with that. https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-pa-stats-matchmaking-63180.56040/
Yeah sorry that's what was trying write but it was before I went to sleep so I didn't really read it though. I'm not sure if it would be something for Cola_Colin or pownie to add.
It puts all game choices on a single screen. Booted out a game... hey wait, someone is searching for a 1v1. Never underestimate laziness
I prepared a v2 with this added in. While trying it out (joining games, leaving, have randoms kick me) I had a few client crashes though. It was always when planets had to get rendered, so it might be completely unrelated, but I'd feel better with someone giving it a spin before putting it on PAMM.
Creating / Leaving seems to work fine. I tried to join a game as spectator, PA crashed. Retried, worked fine (not sure the mod is faulty). Have to test more.
