Start of game, tip of day? last less than a second

[hikerbt]

First as a new user I thank all for a great game, still get defeated 3 out of 4 times but enjoying.

I installed build Feb 19, 2014 14386 release on Ubuntu 14.04 lts, both on HP laptop and Desktop.

When I start a game there is a window that pops up for less than a second, most the time I can't even tell what it is, but some times I see its a tip of the day or some type of suggestion/help window. Is their a way to make it stay longer or should it even be their?

Thanks

I'm assuming you mean the loading screen? (See the attached screenshot.) It usually lasts a bit longer than less than a second, but since it depends on how long it takes to load the map it can vary a lot. There is work being done that will give you the choice to have the loading screen stay until you click an "I'm ready" button (so you have time to look at the images/text, or so you can go grab a drink or something before the match starts), see http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/2087

You can also generate a giant random map. Then you will have plenty of time to read it.

Thanks,

I found a map that took longer to load and see what you mean, The art work is enjoyable to look at on the loading screen.

Some games have a check box if you don't want to wait at the loading screen, Glad your looking into something, although reading the ticket I now know what looks like a simple solution is never that simple and causes other problems.

Just like to say I enjoy just running a city and being able to continue when I win a game is one of the best parts you added that other games don't have.
