That's what i think it should say. or "host does not allow mid join", "host does not support joining an already running game." failproof from misunderstandings imo :]SirMaverick wrote: Host does not support mid join.
I'm not saying that has ever happened or is likely to happen. It was just an example.jivvz wrote:I dont see how a name can be "wrong" in any other way.
connection rejected: user name not authorized to connect. (The host may not support mid-game join.)
Would you be ok with that, BrainDamage?connection rejected: user name not authorized to connect. This usually means that the host does not support mid-game join.
this should the default value and it should be added to springsettings.exeSirMaverick wrote:Host does not support mid join.jivvz wrote:what does it mean? why does it happen?

He needs to set AllowAdditionalPlayers=1 in springconfig.cfg / .springrc
is IS default set to 1, and it should not be touched imo, I added it for other reasons (quick testing) and I forgot to remove it, if you want to block users from joining, simply don't send adduser from the lobby?Satirik wrote:this should the default value and it should be added to springsettings.exeSirMaverick wrote:Host does not support mid join.jivvz wrote:what does it mean? why does it happen?

personally not much ( I have the feeling that people will misread the usually in "always" and start nagging the hosts/lobby devs in cases where they don't need to), but I have the feeling I'm a bit biased on it so go ahead if you wanthoijui wrote:As in practice, this is by far the most common reason, what about changing the message to something like:connection rejected: user name not authorized to connect.

no, you do get a different message: "connection rejected: username already ingame" which is perfectly normal since reconnection timeout didn't expire yetWombat wrote:actually it appears when player try to rejoin before the game realizes he dropped (for some reason it lasts even 1 min)
