Making a lobby

Fidd · 11-27-19, 05:02 PM

Hi,

Usually I join other's lobbies, but today I tried to start one, and was unable to see any sliders which change the difficulty settings, year etc. Likewise the ability to use or not use bots was greyed out.

I tried remaking the lobby, logging in and out etc. No joy.

Any ideas why?

Don't know really. I've heard rumors where you can't get a propper lobby after shutting down from a game and start a new one. With the game kept running. A restart of the game is said to solve this. Haven't noticed this myself though.

Many thanks, I'll try that, maybe that will solve the sound issues too where I have the volume sliders hard right but virtually no sound in game - despite high volume everywhere else on my pc.

This is exactly right. Always re-launch the game after each lobby. Saves you many glitches, including this one.

Many thanks chaps, that has completely solved the issue. Now to squish the sound-issue!
