    I know what Scathis said about the removal of the *Ready* button, but it is more and more evident that it was a mistake.

    Tonight I've joined more than a dozen of games in 20 minutes and in none of them there was anyone capable of starting the game.

    Seriously. It's getting ridiculous. I may have been unlucky tonight, but right now there are dozens of broken games online, and finding the one that can actually start feels like winning a lottery :rolleyes:

    I know the feeling, between that and the "connection lost" i get 9/10 when i attempt to join a lobby plus the loss of connection while the game is launched i can barely play.
    I might even add that if the ability to start the game is given to the new lobby host when the original leave, it won't change the fact that you are dependant on the good will of the host to have the time to get ready.

    I think this is more of an issue of "host" migration of the lobby then ready buttons being implemented

    Aha, that's frankly hilarious.

    After half a hour of trials, I finally ended up in a nice group of eight other players, host present, so we start... and I spawned in the middle of nothing, with three metal spots and absolutely the nothing around me for miles. While the planet was literally filled up with metals every where else.

    Ok, guys, the game looks gorgeous, but please, give me a call when it will be playable again ;)
