Right-Click To See!

Postby CyborgStorm » 27 Mar 2014, 03:38

Hello all!

I've been playing FAF for about 4 months and it is one of my favorite gaming communities to date! I would like to offer a small suggestion to the ever-busy developers should they find time for it. It might be useful to be able to right-click on a game in the lobby to see what mods and unit restrictions are enabled! I know it's rare, but it's nice to be able to see what kind of game you are joining before you actually join a lobby!

Thank you for your time, and please keep up the amazing work!

You can see the mods when you hover over the game, but it would be a pretty cool idea to add extended info such as gamemode, max units, game speed, etc. all that jazz, when you right click.

Just be wary of clutter.

Mod can already be seen before you join. I like that very much; I can easily avoid the "adjust netlag mod" that screws up the game.

It screws up connections (or at least the interpretation of them). Like one guy times out and the game is over forever.

E8400-CV I have never had that problem with auto adjust netlag. Do you have a replay/game.log where it happens?
