Automatically rejoin server on drop

[BackTrak]

Reported by badp on 5 Jan 2010 08:38 UTC If:

• you have joined a team (let it be Team 1) in a server (let it be Server A)
• the game on Server A has started
• Allegiance is closed because ASGS quitted, the connection was lost, Allegiance crashed, and so on
• your team is still joinable (imbalance, lobby not locked, what not) and that game is still running

Then when you reopen Allegiance, chances are you want to rejoin the game ASAP.

Thus, after pressing the SHOW GAME LISTINGS button, you would be asked whether you want to rejoin that game. Pressing Yes would take you straight ingame, pressing No would take you to server listings as usual.

Do you want to rejoin that game?

You cannot rejoin that game due to: game end (Team A won).

Do you want to rejoin Server A anyway?

[No

Comment by fuzzylunkin1 on 5 Jan 2010 08:39 UTC Changed this to an enhancement and lowered the priority. Not a bad idea, just don't see it worth the coding effort unless one of the other devs wants to take it on. You already automatically rejoin the game, you just need to remember what server you were on before. So it is 'one click' away, either click 'yes' or click the server you were on.

Comment by fuzzylunkin1 on 5 Jan 2010 08:39 UTC '''Imago''' The restored -quickstart command line switch ALMOST resolves this issue...Using quickstart will take you to the game that has the most players automatically and 3 times faster than you could yourself by pushing the buttons.
