Now, I know that this is a touchy subject, because for the most part it is not intentional abuse, but the fact that I'm looking at 8 games in the launcher right now, 6 of which are comprised of 1 AFK player is simply too much.

We don't need to punish players for this, but we need a way for their games to automatically be taken down based on some criteria (how long it is not their active window, computer activity, how long it has been since it was created or someone joined, petuition from players in launcher, etc).

It wasn't a big concern for me until now, but the current state of the launcher is just unacceptable. I don't think it would take long to code, so long as we figure out what really needs to be done about it. Suggestions?

This is long planned, harass EIRRmod to work faster .

someone needs to clear the launcher out if possible, its crazy right now, games are overlapping the launcher 

11 games and i think 9 are AFK.

I dont think we need to make this more of a matter, he knows and hes working on it. Hes one man after all. But i have the best hopes for next update. It's gonna be sweet me thinks.

Yeah I notice this, its quite annoying >.>


I dont think you should punish people though, but maybe just put in the rules 'Please do not be AFK, we understand that waiting may take a while, but please do not activate the launcher and sod off for an hour '

I dont know, just discourage it, but dont punish people for it since some might not be able to help it.

i was thinking, is it possible, to have something that simply looks at the "players online" and if a player is not online it waits X amount of time and will kill the game? Because you're still "online" while your in game right?

Have to account for the battalion page viewing too. If you're in the battalion page for a while editing your company, you fall off the players online list, even though you're still there, leading people to think you've left the game. If the launcher is open can it be made that the player is still shown on the online list?
