[TF2] Prevent casual from connecting to a different map after connecting to a server #4569

Open ShadowMan44 opened 1 year ago

ShadowMan44 commented 1 year ago

When I connect to a certain map I wanna play (let's say Lakeside), I don't want to be taken to the loading screen only for the map to suddenly change to Highpass. This is a pretty niche thing to complain about but if I wanna play on Lakeside, I wanna play on Lakeside. How would we fix this? I dunno, maybe prevent players from connecting when the map's in the middle of changing?

I feel as there would still be moments where the map is right about to change and the game will throw you into the match at that very moment. There's no real easy solution to this besides stopping players from joining at some point during the match, which could have negative side effects.

The easy solution already exists, simply add the "queue games in progress" button from the mvm search and have it checked on by default. Unchecking it guarantees a new map and would always be the one you are queued for.

It's possible this may cause issues with refilling lobbies after people leave if it becomes a popular option. I'd imagine that's why it's not shown in the matchmaking menu, but that's only a guess.
