Just backing this up- previously reported by me in 0027244. Host basically needs to reload AI War from scratch when loading saves. |

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. |
