Why joining after downloading add-ons doesn't work in 1.18?

[WarolKojtyla]

It wastes a lot of time, and sometimes causes game to freeze... I don't understand why didn't you just disable this feature in this version, if it doesn't work properly anyway?

Well, I don't recall that having been reported before.

That's bizarre, because it happens to me on 2 different PCs, one with linux, the other one with windows, so I assumed it's a universal issue...

Why is it still in the game, can u fix it finally??? It's really annoying

Report whatever issue you have with details on how to reproduce it then there is a chance that someone can fix it. Just because something happens for you does not mean that it happens for anyone else. Not everyone plays wesnoth the same way in the same game mode with the same addons on the same OS on the same device etc.

Which version of Wesnoth do these devices have?

Which version of Wesnoth do these devices have?

As stated in the title, 1.18. The one that's on steam. Earlier I played on 1.16 and didn't have this issue.

Reproducing it for me is opening the game and trying to join any multiplayer match that has at least one addon I don't have (or I have an older verion of than the host), and that information is already included in my post...
I also already said it happened to me on 2 different PCs with different OSes, so I think it's extremely unlikely it's just a me issue...

Anyway it's fine if you can't fix it, but it would be nice if I at least had an option to disable this autojoin and instead join manually after it finishes downloading...

I meant, including the minor version, like 1.18.0, 1.18.1 etc. You can see it on the title screen in the left bottom corner

If you're not able to narrow it down in any way or give any details that's fine but the point is that then there should be no expectation that anything changes. You're the only one that has reported this so far. There is equally very little chance that someone will implement a feature for you to work around a bug. You are of course free to do it yourself.

It's as narrowed down as it can possibly be? And what do you think is the chance, that I play 1.18 on 2 different PCs, with 2 very different OSes and have this same exact issue on both, but it doesn't happen to anyone but me???

This is so annoying, is there really no way to just download the addons with no auto joining!?
