I was in a match, but I had to go do something. I came back, and I was typing in that I had to go afk. As I was doing this, I got a warning. I clicked close, finished the message, and just a split second before I could get in, I got another warning and was kicked as I was about to click close again.

 

So... what does idling mean for this game? Sticking in the mech screen for too long? I thought I'd at least be able to stop the countdown by typing in a message. Looks like that was wrong.

2 minutes and 15 seconds of inactivity (remaining in the garage, not moving in match) will get you kicked for idling.

edit: I don't know if aiming ends the inactivity timer, but other than that only inputs that control the mech matter.

I was typing in a message when I got the warning. Doing nothing doesn't seem to be the exact thing that causes it.

 

Edit: Ah, I get you, brack.

 

I just wish I knew actual use of keyboard and mouse didn't count as not idle. I would have just started it back up. I mean, I wasn't exactly expecting an interruption, but it happened.

I've had this problem before as well. It was and remains very annoying.


Thank you for your time,

aiming does not cancel the idle, thats happened to me sitting on an uneven team even when i was looking around.
