Hang when joining LAN that's not hosting yet
Posted: 21 Mar 2012, 22:33
Hi,
Using the latest beta (3.1b7), when you attempt to join a LAN game (at least, when searching using the computer's name), if the host hasn't started hosting yet, the music stops and the game becomes unresponsive whilst it attempts to connect. Eventually it says it can't connect and everything starts working again, but by that time many people may have force-quit the game (like I almost did). Not sure if this is something that needs fixing or not.
As well, there was a crash while playing,, but I'll make a separate topic for that, I've gotta see if I can get ahold of the crash log from the game host.
Thanks,
