greenFox Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 In JA2 it's possible to assign mercs to travel to locations / trains militia etc - and THEN hit the "Play" button (green circle) for the time to start. However, I noticed in JA3 when you assign a team to travel or assign them to do operations and click "Close" the timer starts automatically, which I find really annoying. You cannot coordinate precisely and always "waste" a few minutes/hours if you don't notice it. I am new to JA3 and I was wondering if I am doing something wrong, is there a hotkey to prevent this? Help is appreciated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperlord Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 My workaround so far is hitting spacebar (Leertaste) as fast as possible And I'm on the same side and would prefer me pressing "play". Maybe we can toggle the default behaviour inbthe options in the future ... 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman25dcsss Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 You can disable automatic start in options 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I wonder why they thought it would be a good idea to enable auto start by default, as it seems more of an expert/efficiency option than something to aid new players. I also wonder if there any players who deliberately choose to play with auto start enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because for most players, you will play this like an RPG and only have one squad, and on top of that it's part of the tutorial on the passage of time that it starts when there is a reason for it to happen (anyone does anything). It's annoying for the 30 seconds it takes a person with above room temperature IQ to turn it off, and those of us below that will not have a problem most of the time.

J1v1n Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Don't you guys go through the settings before you start your games? 😝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenFox Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 I did - but not everything makes immediate sense to me. For example, I also didn't quite understand the concept of "Overwatch" until I tried it out. To be fair - I could have watched more tutorials etc. but after waiting 24 years from JA2 to JA3 - let's just say I had no more patience 🙃 1 hour ago, J1v1n said: Don't you guys go through the settings before you start your games? 😝 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J1v1n Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Nah, but a quick look in the settings can be expected. All good though, no hate. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoww Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 the problem is auto-start should have been disabled by default in the settings. devs are interesting guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
