Games shouldn't automatically start before the minimum requirement for players is reached

I just made a custom server and was waiting for people to join. Nobody did. Nobody can. Because the game automatically started without me knowing.

Why is this a thing?

The game should not automatically begin before the minimum player requirement is reached. So that I can wait for people to join my game without having to constantly monitor it.

Better yet, make it so a game cannot start at all unless an operator presses the Start Game button.

My goodness, this would solve a lot of problems.

Hello there,
I’m pretty sure that custom server games don’t start without reaching the minimum requirement for players,

I was in a skywars game lobby for over 15 mins with 7 people needed to start… and the game didn’t start.
I probably think it’s a bug, if someone could recreate then please take a video or screenshot of it for refrence.

It either happens when selecting “Extend countdown” or just randomly

I actually recorded 3 videos and both showcase the issue.

It looks like the countdown starts once you hit extend countdown and breaks the requirement check, it will be fixed soon :+1:

This is slowly rolling out game-by-game (won’t all be today, just when we release other CS updates to a game).

It’s currently on purpose that you can start a game with just yourself.
