| Summary | 0027244: Clients trying to join a reloaded multiplayer game rejected due to faction name already in game | ||||
| Description | I have commonly run into this issue in multiplayer games- if the game needs to be reloaded (due to a loss of softlock), if I, as the host, simply quit the game and then reload it, it is very common for rejoining players to be told they cannot join becauyse their faction name is already in the game. Quitting AI War 2 entirely, starting it again and then reloading solves the issue. Log attached (same log as for 0027235). I have developed the habit of automatically restarting the whole game on a reload, but at the 9:45 (on 1st) of May in the attached log I forgot to restart the game and the log shows where the players were rejected. | ||||

Thanks! * Updated the game to no longer block players from connecting under a given name if the host still thinks that the client is connected. It now just assigns that player name to the newly-connecting player. ** This is more vulnerable to griefing, because it would allow two players with the same name to keep trying to join and knock one another out of the game. But that's not the audience that AIW2 has, anyway. ** The vastly more common case is that someone disconnected from the host but the host just has not realized it yet. Having the next connection request that comes in with the same name say "close out the old one, load the new one" makes it far quicker for clients to reconnect. |
