stop having the ad play in the beginning of the setup of the games have them play at the end that kills two birds with one stone you get to keep the ad going and fix the games not working right because it playing the ads at the end of a game and it do not delay of joining and if you delay join time of a game that can make players leave, you got think in the long run not the short run.



In short ads before the game = bugs and less players and ads at the end or shutdown of the game = no bugs and more players due to it not delaying players from joining and think of games that if you don't join right away like ss13 then you cant pick the role/job you want due to the delay or bug.

PS ss13 game is the bread and butter for you if you are going to play ads but if you mess it up then the standalone ss13 one will take over then you will have no income at all. from my point of view you don't want that to happen.
