Description

Suggestion: Overlay with the names of the nicks connected in the network game room.

[Description]

In Brazil, we like to play fighting games like Street Fighter and The King of Fighter with several players. You can implement the function of having an overlay in the corner of the screen that shows the players connected in the netplay room, just like the game menu. expel players from the network game room? This way we will know who is next to play using the pass the turn function with the "i" key.

Expected behavior

An overlay that shows the connected players and what position they are in the room, just like the menu for expelling players from the room.

Actual behavior

[What is actually happening]

Currently we have to enter the menu to expel player from the netplay room, to know that he is next in the network game room.

Example photo of what the overlay might look like on the screen, it could be less text so as not to take up too much space.
