Ghost players on servers

(FireWorks) #1

It’s monday, it’s noon and it’s been a while since you restarted your servers the last time.

This fuels the rant thread here. Every single server of the last 10(!!!) I connected to is haunted by a ****ing ghost, so there is a constant 7v8, 6v7 or 5v6 at best. There is always one player missing and the games are lobsided in most cases.

Sadly I gotta, Ive already found out how this happens a while ago and had it reported and Ive done it today again: Kicking a player causes these “ghosts”.

So, please, I beg you SD. Fix this stuff so we can enjoy our pubs again :stuck_out_tongue:

not just kicking, I had a d/c + crash, upon relaunching DB I saw my own nick hogging a slot on a server I was just at.

Guess the way “leaving” players are handled on the server bears the codehole.

I would like to see dedicated spectator slots. I usually like to spectate rather than play, so I don’t want to feel bad for taking up a spot that someone otherwise could have used to play the game, when all I want to do is spectate.
