We'd need to fix up the kick section, too.
It should probably stop disconnecting you straight up, so that people can actually recover from it (i.e. if someone doesn't want to kick that player, the game doesn't sit there indefinitely anyway).

I want to reduce it too, most phantom games 1/2 to 2/3rds are engineers. But it has been discussed in different threads before.... and for some reason people like engineers. But my idea is probably possible then? with the vote menu.

That's a horrible idea that won't even solve the underlying problem.

A better idea would just to eliminate T1 engineer spam. In a typical 4v4 on setons, if there are a total of 5,000 units on the map, probably at least 1,000 of them are T1 engineers.

If only my games were running at least -2, I'd be quite happy with that

The autokick is a VERY bad idea for the record.

Thats all we need. After it detects it at -2 a vote menu comes up with who to kick out, and the Ren_networkstats does as well. People then can kick the guy who it at -2

Yes, there is getGameSpeed, but is there a function getMaxSimSpeed? Without that, this idea cannot work.

How would it detect that?

Actually, I take that back, it's a terrible idea because every player in the game runs the game at the same speed. What you want is a way to tell what the max sim speed a person's system CAN have is.

How about after it detects its below -2 then the ren_netowrkstats window pops up automatically on everyone's screen and they vote the person who has low sim speed off, kinda like the disconnect menu

Was recently playing a game. 31 mins into the game the sim speed was -4. Everyone else was at +2 or +3 with one person at 0. He refused to leave. 40 ins in it was -5. Thats less than half speed, unplayable. Everyone wanted him gone but he just said no. After your sim speed reaches -3 you should be instantly kicked from the game, and if your teamed, even if its share until death your stuff should be given to your team.

-3 Is 1/2 speed, -5 is 1/3 speed both of these are not worth playing, someone that drags a game under -2(.63speed) and will not GTFO more then a few times should be banned from playing team games
