Clients are spamming connectivity to a full server in rapid sequence causing the server to lag.
Spmmaing is not effecting the servers CPU consumption at all but is making for a bad game for everyone.

    This happens because ppl don't know what the max players is that can connect to the server i suggest putting it in your server name. :)

    I posted about this in the stickied server topic. It happens everytime my server fills up and is clearly causing lag issues. The most I've seen is 6 people stuck in a connect/disconnect loop.

    Xeltor: That's how it happens, yea, but nobody is spamming reconnect 100 times in a minute. The game is doing it itself, which is kind of a problem.

    I noticed on my server that it only happened when there was 29/30 players and the last slot just couldn't be filled because people keep looping in connect / disconnect...

    So yeah i agree it needs some serious fixing :P

    Player number is already in the server name, does not help.

    Cant test the game properly with all this spamming. The game has no client side drop with "Server is Full message"
    I wonder if the client is spammin attempts on black screen with "Attempting Connection..."
    That badly needs limiting to 1 try every 5 seconds.
