1.6 server games not disappearing

[cretin]

im not sure where this should go so i put it here (i hope this is the right section). Im running 1.6

On the 1.6 server i have noticed that several games do not disappear after everyone has left. i was on several hours ago and came back now and i see that a few of them are still there. I dont know if this is a problem from my end or the servers.

yeah it also wont let you join games where you dont have the era, even if the era doesnt use custom units...

This is if the folder contains custom units, or more specifically, the Main CFG file.

This should have gone in Technical Support, but I'll give it a shot anyways.

What Operating System do you use? That might make it easier to find the problem.

Look again:

I just tested it and fortunately that doesn't seem to be true. Of course it can happen if the author of such an era happens to forget to use require_era=no, but that's their own fault then.

Ahhh, well, that seems more sensible, I guess.

[/quote][/quote]I was with him when we tested this. He used GEB, without the Custom units. But its in the same CFG as the one with it, so thats how I got that assumption.

Sorry, I was just asserting that his statement was different than I thought you were saying. I had not tested it either way.

This is a known issue. It should be noted that observing these games may have adverse affects on your client; I recommend reconnecting to the server if you have observed one of these games or start to experience strange behaviour. See https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?13252 for more information.
