Fixed Bug where players seem to be failing to join a netgame multiple times in a row

*Quinnster left the game (Connection timeout)
and so on

Happens on many servers and with different people each time. Completely locks up the server while it happens as it lags too much to really do anything.

Any idea on what this could be? It's pretty disruptive. I know there's not really any other log details or error reports sadly...Still happens.

Chances are this is a normal netplay bug.
It happened in 2.1 and in Kart as well, so it's likely just a normal bug.

What the hell is a "normal bug"???. Anyone on this?

It's called a joinbug. It's often something like this happening. The way to stop it is to desactivate joins then activate them again

Still no response by anyone I see. Well it's still there, still ruining whatever fun you can have online.
