RA3 - Waiting for Open Spawns

[Difranco]

I am running a RA3 v1.17 Compatable for our lan, in between matches every gets the above message "Waiting for open spawns.." sometimes for what seems forever, before the countdown to the next match begins. Is there away to turn that off? Or at least minimize it.

Also how can I reduce the match time countdown from 10 to say 5 or 4?

Thanks in advance.
