For the past days I played PA every evening. But suddenly my custom multiplayer stopped working. Whenever I click on "Join Game" nothing happens. And when I get to join something, I will get kicked in as a spectator in the already running game. I really don't know what changed in the past days to cause that. The werid thing is: I can still play 1vs1 online. It only takes some seconds to connect. Any ideas?
Are you running any mods? What OS are you using? Are there any obvious problems with the UI (panels out of place, unresponsive buttons). Also please message me your Account Name.
no mods or ui addons. windows7. nothing seems to be wrong with the UI. I somehow think that it could have to do something with connection problems that the game is causing. because when I wait a really long time. something happens. (getting kicked in as a spectator)
I've also seen that a couple of times again recently where clicking join seems to do nothing and then after a long delay it joins you to the game. The typical response is to click multiple times and / or try to join another game which probably doesn't help. I'll add some logging to my client and next time it happens I'll take a look in the console.
Some of these issues are caused by stale data in the games feed: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/rel-faster-server-browser-mod.63947/page-6#post-1056906
It's taking me a very long time to join games, if it works at all. The click makes a noise but then nothing at all happens for a long time.
