Topic: [BUG] Server crashes when client aborts connection

[freddyhayward]

Steps to reproduce, case 1:
* open two clients
* connect to server using client A
* while client A reads "server preparing game" or "transferring game": stop client A using task manager / system monitor
* attempt to connect to server using client B

Expected behaviour:
* client B should be able to connect to server

Actual behaviour:
* client B reads "server did not respond!"

Steps to reproduce, case 2:
* open two clients
* connect to server using client A
* attempt to connect to server using client B
* while client B reads "server preparing game" or "transferring game": stop client B using task manager / system monitor

Expected behaviour:
* client A should remain connected

Actual behaviour:
* client A reads "Lost synchronisation with server"

Thank you for your report.

I am afraid that I have been unable to reproduce this with a local server in either case 1 or case 2 outlined above.

In case 1 there should be a ~30 second delay before Client B will see the server. This is due to TCP timeout, assuming the server can cope with players leaving while joining.
