What's going on with the new multiplayer kick time?

Post by KarisFraMauro »

I was pretty surprised to check some games recently and see the deadline for inactivity has gone from seven days to thirty seven days. Anybody know why the change occurred? It seems like a very bad idea, when an opponent doesn't play regularly (which happens often) you're looking at taking a year to complete a game or a cluttered list of games that are effectively dead yet can't be ended for more than a month.

I agree with this.

Also - why are new MP games placed in the bottom? It doesn´t seem logical to me.

Hi,

This is an issue that's arisen from the PBEM server updates last week. We're investigating

Thanks

Ah okay, I wasn't sure if it was an accident or deliberate so that's one aspect cleared up :)

I wish I could set the kick time when I start an MP scenario...

Yeah me too, I was just thinking that. If it's a small map after all there's not really a reason it should even be as long as a week. And if it's 2 vs 2 unless you want to spend forever decreasing the turn time is very advisable.
