Author Topic: Two of the same people in a server at once.  (Read 2489 times)

When there are two of the same people in the same server at once. Should be patched in V15.

Either two things:
A. The person crashed and quickly rejoined.
B. Two games (separate players and computers or not) with the same key are in the same server.


Two people joining under the same ID is allowed as long as they are on the same network (LAN).
Notice how they don't get authentication errors?



B
As long as they have the same I.P, i.e. siblings, it's fine.

If two people have the same key, are on LAN connections with each other, and have the excact same names, there can be 2 people there at once.

They have to have the same name, and they have to have the same IP(are in the same house)

Let's remind him a fifth time.

Though only 2 of the 4 mentioned they need the same name.

Uh no.  You can have multiple instances of the game running from the same IP address.  It is a feature of the game.  Removing this would be like outlawing siblings or friends. 

Sometimes when I spawn, there is a clone of me that never goes away.

TDM or default mini-game causes that

Which is why you use mine instead.
