Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
When creating a table, it used to be possible to specify a minimum number of player required before the game could be started.
After a few days of being created, a game would automatically start or be abandoned depending on whether this number has been reached. This was quite useful for turn based games and especially for turn based games between friends as a mean to see what everyone in the group wanted to play without having to discuss it at length.
This is somewhat less useful if the auto-start/abandon has also been removed (has it ?) but it was useful anyway.
I could agree to allow the setting to be changed even when there are already players at the table (provided that there is no auto-start) but please, let it come back ! -

Report history
A game can be created with 4 players.
One other person joins. They have to accept the game configuration before the table fills, as it is a turn-based game.
The table administrator (who cannot decrease the player count to 3, because this is a change to table configuration after someone has joined) can still start the game now, with only 2 players, forcing the other player into a 2-player game when they signed up for a 4-player game. I tested this on table 194828402
