Description (last modified by )
The "Show Full Games" button in the game lobby hides all games where the number of clients (not players) is greater or equal to the number of player slots. It is enabled by default.
This means if one player spectates (or is not assigned because of other reasons), the server will be hidden although there are open player slots (if observer-count + playercount = slot count).
As a result the server will usually never be filled.
The only workaround for a18 is then that the host adds one more player slot temporarily, so that the game will not be listed as full.
Quick Fix: Disable the option (the way it was on a17) - then full games are listed too by default.
Better Fix: List games only as full if the number of assigned players is equal to the number of player slots.
No to the quick fix, users joining full games is annoying.
