Cannot Copy and Paste to join game - G00seEggs - 2011-08-02
I've had two people look at this so far and they originally thought I was BSing them. If I type in the name in the JOIN GAME field, exactly or even copy it from the website and paste it, I will not join the game.
I will only join the game if the name is already in the buffered list, is there a way around this?

That being said, how many does the list normally hold?
Mine only queries like 20 games at first and then slowly adds 5 -6 games at a time. I rarely ever get to play teammates because they can all jump straight into the game I have to wait 10-15 refreshes.

Just lookup the number from the website - the rest stays the same anyway:
btanks league qualify #...
btanks league ranked #...
.50

You're missing the point, I already do this. I even have the both on my friends list and I type in the name EXACTLY! <-- I even had two other people control my computer and do the same thing and it won't load.
That's my problem, I can copy and paste from the website and I get the message about game is not available, even if it has open slots.

Make sure you don't copy a space at the end of the game name.. Looks the same, but the blank character prevents from joining game.
Good: "Game Name"
Bad: "Game Name "

It's not difficult...
1. Open your browser and go to btanks.net.
2. Highlight the game name - make sure you don't copy any spaces.
3. Now open W3 and go to the game lobby; Ctrl+V in the game name field and press enter.
4. If it doesn't join I just Esc from the lobby and go back to the Battle.net welcome screen, then click back onto the custom game lobby.

This has to be a dumb ISP block or some type of shit.
I had tested this at another friend's house that doesn't have Charter and it works perfectly, brought along my router as well, so that's not the case.
I know it's not hard, that's why I let 2 people take control of my PC the other day. They all thought I was a retard and then they were both confused as well when it failed for them. We used the Warcraft Teamviewer and no one had an idea why.
Yeah, I can paste, fail, close and open, but it can take up to 15-20 attempts and the room is full by that time when 5 of my friends join instantly.
