Dedicated host stuck forever if a player leaves during joining process.

If any player leaves during the joining process while the dedicated host is waiting for all the players to join it will never start even if all the players needed have joined or all the players have left the server. That dedicated server will be forever waiting for players and wont revert to being a available host unless manually shutdown and put back up. The same issue is true hosting normally but in those cases its easy for the host to alt f4 and relaunch the game to create a new server.

Leaving while the server is waiting seems to create a phantom player. When the same player rejoins is shown 2 of that player in the game and it sits on waiting for players forever.

If this has a fix im not aware of i apologize. I already tried to search discord for other people talking about the issue but its a bit too specific to search easily.

There's not much we can do about this one, it's very difficult to get it right.

I'm going to change the join process in 1.1, then this won't be a problem.

I appreciate it. My friends have to think twice before launching a game in the mean time. We have had a lot of times of alt f4ing before i setup the dedicated server and it become a real issue. Thanks for all the great work from fika
