« on: 19 April 2011, 15:55:33 »

While I do not consider this a bug, if I recall correctly this has been changed since so that games can only be started if all connected players are 'ready'.

Сontrary
I think, Semperfei says that Host may start the game
without readiness of other players,
and the button "Ready" is useless.

And I'm saying I think this has changed and that all players need to ready up now before the host can start the game.

However, even if this is not the case, the "ready" button is not useless, since it still indicates to the host whether or not players are ready. And those which do not get ready on time can simply be kicked by her or him.

Sorry...
I agree with you.
I just decided that you don't understand what he mean...

Sorry I was wrong when I said that the server needs to wait for the clients to be ready now. This was not changed. But, to me, that's fine as it is (as explained above).
