Hey, everyone! It's that time of the year, when blizzard releases a new patch!
Just wanted to let you know that the game no longer starts after the recent patch. When countdown reaches 1, everyone is kicked, and the game is unhosted.

Edit: Ok I kinda remember that it has something to do with the number of players in lobby. We might be able to start with 10 people or so.

Can confirm, 10 players work.

We're aware of the issue and will see what we can do to resolve it.

Interim measure: Fill up 5 player slots with AI. Allows autostart, prevents excess players from joining. AI slots don't count as players so the lobby crash doesn't happen.

Source: Personally done it successfully.

There are a number of players spreading false information to get hosts to start with more than 10 players, just so they can see with their own eyes that it doesn't work. These people either need to count the number of players properly and realise there are ALWAYS 10 players or less even if some of said players are in slots 11-15, or stop lying to get their way.

11 AND MORE PLAYERS WON'T WORK.

Source: Personally tried it with 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 players. IT DOESN'T WORK.

Hey Reiji Andou, I tried with 11 players and it works :)

It didn't work for me earlier. Hrrrrm.

I've heard reports about 12 and 15 player games working too, but those fail every time from what I see as well. But okay. I'll edit the post above.

Nope, 11 doesn't work.

I CHOOSE TO FOLLOW MY DREAMS AND PLAY WITH 11 PLAYERS!

I have seen the game start with 11, and can verify that it works. No matter, 10 seems to be a fine number. Doesn't matter though because no one is joining lobbies now that it is common knowledge to the player base that the game is bugged.

What are some balanced 10 player setups? I have a 721:
Town Government
Town Investigative
Town Protective
Town Killing
Town Power
Town Random
Town Random
Dragon Head
Triad Random
Neutral Random (excludes killing)

Do y'all have any other suggestions?
