automatch

How long is this supposed to take?

 

The 2 or 3 times I've tried, it's taken too long, and I've widened and then cancelled. Am I being impatient or does it take a few minutes to setup?

If there is no one else using automatch, then you can wait forever. It depends HEAVILY on the amount of people online. I find I can get games fairly quickly around midday, which is about 6-9 in the States, which I assume is when everyone comes online.

 

But yeah, just go into custom matches if there isn't anyone on automatch.

Thanks. What's a good cut-off point.... how long is too long?

[Luk3us 63]

Eh, 40 seconds?

[Gben 20]

ok cool. It was taking more than 2mins... at least I'm not unreasonably impatient!

If you want to see how many people are on, go into a lobby and type:

 

/players

but when you create a game don't you also have to add 'quick-match'? How relevant is the player numbers, I guess the more important question - what is critical mass for player numbers?
