Idle kick on map start means you can't re-join game until next match?

Grim_Fandango:
Thought I'd drop this in here as it might be related.

I joined a game for a fraction of a second before the game crashed.  It's a graphics thing and usually corrects itself on next load.
Anyway, I managed to re-join the game briefly before it ended and has be in both teams at the same  time.

Definately not a win-joiner :)

Piglet:
Ha! That's a ut2004 core bug. You get it in all gametypes.

But thanks for posting it. Anything like this could be something caused by the custom code on the server....there is a significant amount of it running....

Right:
I went to spec for a few seconds and tried to join again (my own Team) and it said trying to join the smaller team: try again in 3 minutes....
Don't think thats the Right way it should work.

sup:
The code is set up to do exactly that Right. I think it would be better to simply prevent any player from joining the team that is winning (even if that team has one player less).

This way, if a player wants to force the balance of the game (going to the spectators to force a player onto their team) this will only be possible if that player is on the team that is losing (which is annoying, but acceptable, because it will be benefiting the weaker team). If the player is on the winning team and does this, he will not be able to return to the winning team, he will have to play for the losing team and this will cause that player to probably throw himself out the window, and with luck it will be one less cheating player on the server, I know, I'm a genius.

This way, it wouldn't be necessary to wait 3-4 minutes to return to the game, allowing players who need to reconnect (due to crash, gunbug, lag, etc.) to play immediately (at least on the team that is losing) and avoid winjoiners (also known as Loon).

Flenser:
Ugh, I hit that bug where I died and couldn’t respawn, so I spec’d and rejoined… and couldn’t join for 3 minutes. Luckily Duke joined and started scoring for my team.  :D
