Custom games need improvements & a private toggle

Currently, trying to get an 8 player game going is quite inconvenient. My friends cannot join me via steam because I’m “already matchmaking” while waiting for them with a custom game open so players have to join via the lobby browser instead which is unintuitive and stupid.

So I suggest that players should be able to join each other via steam joins/invites while waiting in a custom game AND a private toggle to avoid random players joining while waiting and having to kick them to allow friends to join. This will help a lot.

Again, look at how much space this UI has, you can easily fit a couple toggles in there!

You could also include a toggle for disabling the game automatically ending on point win/loss, that too will be a big improvement for custom games.

Agreed, a few friends set up a discord to hold matches, but it gets frustrating when there’s 8 of us and we can’t play a game together because of random players joining in.
