Maniaplanet Forum

Hi, I want to bring to the attention that it is taking too long just to begin playing the game. 10 mouse clicks before you join a server....
1. Click on Servermania Icon ...... 2. The box appears with the buton 'Play' I click on this.... 3. Click on your profile name ..... 4. Click on STADIUM ..... 5. Click on Multiplayer ...... 6. Click on ALL (Then it just displays servers in the United Kingdom) ...... 7. Click to go to Europe ...... 8. Click to go to World ........ 9. I click the server I want to play on.....
10. It asks me if i want to join the server or be a spectator or CANCEL. I am so worn out I don't dare click Cancel

Can't this be sorted out ? I expect more effort to go into a paid game by making things easier.

In other words, you want a direct link on the desktop which bypasses (or includes) login, connection, and joining the match?
Could be an interesting option tu run on the actual favorite server

but you don't need autopilot, right?

step 3 can be bypassed by going to Settings and selecting Use single profile

Yes TMarc And I can eat some popcorn with all the time I've saved HaHa ....

You can select: use single profile, remember the password, connect automatically. Double click opens ready ManiaPlanet.

domino I appreciate your help. But Nadeo needs to sort this out as there are going to be hundreds of thousands of uses who aren't going to see this topic and the help you have given. We really need a shortcut on the desktop to take us straight into the Stadium environment in the game....

These are the only clicks that are reasonable to avoid for me. But clicking/loading takes nearly no time at all, so I don't really care...

Who is "We" ? I really don't think many players have a problem with clicking 4 times to start a title.

I'm not sure how you can do everything I have done in 4 mouse clicks .... please explain how it's done.

?

the man is right
4 or 5 clicks less should be possible.

And it should remember if you chose world or europe as part of the serverbrowser filter.
