There's no more 60 seconds before the first round starts. The first round starts when the server has loaded the map.

First player who's boss waste his queue for only fighting 3 ppl most of the time.

Can this be fixed please?

I wonder...

Instead off 60 seconds before first round, why not add a first arena round. It's more interesting and by far, the only I've seen that is not having it.

If you need help to do itB, I am free to help.

mp_waitingforplayers_time is set to 60.

Can you confirm that this has definitely stopped working?

I can see that it's set on the server.

I don't want to go back to the first round being arena, the main reason is that presented an opportunity for players to waste time, rather than playing FF2.

Thanks for your offer of help, but it's only a couple of key-presses in a config file.

After map change, the map still started immediately after loading (started when someone picked team blue).

A little discussion about arena:

Support for arena.

Sorry, but that's not going to happen. It's going to stay as 60 seconds, not that, that is working again.

I don't want to reopen an avenue for time-wasting.
