Main Menu Click Multiplayer Click Custom Click Create game Set Competitive tag, I have to set it every single time. This is 2 clicks. Please make it stick. I have to switch to "Teams" every single time. I never create an FFA game. Ever. Two more clicks, Make this stick. UI STALLS, map is building, defaults to a map I never play. "Clutch" (or whatever it was in PA:C) Wait for UI to become usable again. (10-20 seconds) Switch map to the one I want. UI stalls again. 10-15 seconds. Wait for UI to come back. Add slots/teams, wait for buddy. If you don't want to create threads to build planets, for whatever reason, then start the map 'blank', and let me pick a map before blocking the UI. How about this: 1. Main Menu 2. Click "Create Multiplayer Game" 3. Last tags I chose are still there, game mode I picked (ffa/teams/bounty/dynamic alliances/sandbox) are still clicked. 4. I add teams/slots, wait for my buddy to arrive. 5. I pick a system. 6. UI stalls - now less of an issue, as I'm just waiting for people to arrive. Additionally, when I pick a map, the list should be ordered by frequency, not by creation date or name. Therefore, the last 'n' maps I chose are at the top. Right now I'm presented with a giant list of official maps I never play, and mine are at the bottom, requiring a scroll. With the rest of the polish in this game, having the UI stall is amazingly frustrating. Being a game developer myself, I also know that creating a thread to go do work isn't all that hard, especially in this case, where it's not communicating much at all to the UI except "I'm working on it", and "Done".
I completely agree with this post. It is simple but amazingly irritating to have to recreate the exact same settings every time I host a game.
