Around 3 minutes
Setting up automatch
@sheikah Hmm, seriously should we be sitting waiting for three minutes? I usually give up around the 40 second mark as it seems safe to assume someone has had an issue....
Games sometimes launch after a surprising amount of time. It could be that someone needs to still download/generate the map and there is no advantage in cancelling early when the next queue pop will only be in three minutes anyway.
I think there is merit in waiting until the next matching time is down to like 15 seconds (0:15). That way, you theoretically waited for close to 3 minutes, and you can still join the next queue cycle before it reaches 0:00. In my experience, a notable portion of matches actually do connect in the 2nd or 3rd minute if everybody waits.

If there is a loading screen that lets you know what the other players are doing: Downloading the map, launching the game, connecting to players, etc. similar to tft then I think less players will leave.

More informative text is planned afaik, just hasn’t been done yet. I took a stab at it but never got to the point where it was ready to PR.
@scout_more_often Yes. I often get past setting up automatch after 2 mins
"Good luck and a safe landing commanders!"
Thanks all, I make sure to wait longer now. Definitely would support some more explanatory text onscreen explaining all of the above
