Summarize your bug Minimum player amount settings for community games are bugged.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to create ANY community game
What happens when the bug occurs? The community game creator completely disregards the set minimum amount of players required to start a community game. It also allows setting the minimum to invalid amounts for some game modes.
What should be happening instead? The set amount of minimum players should actually apply.
It doesn't matter what you set the minimum amount of players needed to start community games. It will completely disregard it.
I tried setting up a community game of squad conquest last night with three other people, having set the server to require a minimum of four people to start the game, yet when we loaded into it, it required six players total to actually start. We double and triple checked the settings, and one of the others tried to start a game too, and it made no difference.
The community game creator also allows you to set a minimum player count required as low as four for 64-player matches, though this doesn't actually matter, as once it loads, it still requires sixteen players total to start.
I've tried starting squad conquest community games before the latest patch went live, and back then, it actually applied the correct minimum.
Fortunately for us, we managed to find two extra players to actually start the game.
Just for good measure, here's the fullscreen version of the third screenshot, as well as a screenshot of a four-player minimum for a 64-player conquest match.
