Ghost server slot


(light_sh4v0r) #1

I believe we’ve seen this before in the past, but my friends are playing on a 7v7 server and it’s showing 13/14 the entire time, but I can’t join…
Auto-join doesn’t work because it just gives an error after a couple of seconds saying the server is full… Which is weird because auto join shouldn’t give that error in the first place…

Happens all the time.

I guess either the server has a slot reserved for someone else connecting, even though they never connect, or the server browser doesn’t get updated with the true player count.

Either way it’s annoying.

Maybe as a workaround the server browser could greyout (a visual change only, don’t prevent me from retrying to connect) these servers clientside for a few minutes, because inevitable i keep trying to connect to the one broken server in the list.
