Request: one click to join game
-
Something that happens more regularly than one might expect: double clicking a game in the client to join and the game list is re-ordered before the second click. You end up joining the wrong game.
You then have to wait for the "Abort" button to show. By the time you've gone through the process of aborting or exiting, the game you wanted to join has invariably filled up
It is a minor issue, but it is annoying and potentially easy to fix?

I've encountered that issue too so now I click the game tile and then click join game on the right side game preview.
I'm not sure what's the ideal UI solution. A one-click join can still change the tile your mouse is over in the time between deciding and clicking. You could lock the position of the tile your mouse is hovered over and use animations to move tiles around during sorting updates.
In terms of clicking the UI seems fine because you must double click on the same tile for it to join, which means there's not really any space to filter out different clicks like if you double clicked around the time that tiles switched places. -
Easiest fix would probably be to delay the refresh rate of the custom game list by say 5s.

@Nomander Ah yes, that right-side game preview is a decent solution. I didn't even know it was there!
