Bug #7661

Timer starts in lobby instead of when pressing 'Play'

Status:	Open
Priority:	Medium
Added by:	Anonymous on October 6, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.2.0 Release
Actual Result:	Timer counts how long you've been in the lobby
Expected Result:	Timer counts how long you've been queued for
Severity:	Cosmetic
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go into lobby as killer or survivor
2. Wait momentarily to press play
3. Press "Play" and notice how the timer has already started prior to pressing the button

Explanation

The queue timer starts when you enter the lobby, not when you press ready, leading to misleading times, especially when you're sitting in the lobby and haven't pressed "Play" for a longer period.
