Alternate click to start custom game?

Postby AdmiralZeech » 13 Dec 2017, 14:34

Hi, due to hand problems I have difficulty doing double clicks. It would be great if there was some alternate way of starting custom games.

Either right click (which does nothing right now anyways), right click into a context menu, or left click and then enter?
Or just change it to a single left click, I don't think that currently does anything either?

There is an option called mouse keys you can activate on your pc and when its enabled the "+" key becomes a double click

That's a good point.
I don't see why a single click wouldn't suffice for this seeing as it currently does nothing relevant in that menu.

Because you would join the wrong game 50% of the time because they swap around.

Just configure your mouse wheel button as double click:

I don't see how single/doubleclick changes this. It's not like anyone is so slow at doubleclicking they will have time to think after the first one oh snap, I didn't want to join this one, I wanted that instead. :lol:

you can sort lobbies by age so they don't jump around and you don't click on the wrong one

Nah philip that's aids because you see all trash games everywhere. For my rating range it's way better to sort on average player rating which limits it to around the first 3 games.

And joonasto that definitely happened to me before when i still had a lower rating and had the games sorted by players.

Also, isn't double clicking for stuff like this normal in games? In most other games you have, afaik, both a double click option and an option to select the game and then click a 'join' button somewhere below, but never have i seen single clicks.
