ROTFL!
I actually treat that as a compliment.
Sorry I didnt see this sooner. Especially if its already settled.
I dont think we ever did pinpoint the bug. The closest we got was that apparently you can slip in sometimes, and sometimes not. It seems to have something to do with the game being distracted by a bad connection (the freeze screen) and letting the next one thru. If you do the steps provided, then you can often fill both bills. Create a freeze, then slip thru quickly on a second try while its still distracted.
It seems to hit mid-sized games for some reason more than others. The 2-4 player blitzes dont seem to have it. The monster game doesnt seem to have it (knock on virtual wood). But around 10 players it showed up on my server.
The mid-sized games both had it but only for awhile then cleared up after about a week. I "fixed" it by leaving a connection to the game continually from my desktop machine. For some reason, that seemed to let everyone in OK.
