[13.9] Peer disconnection not registered by server browser

[MrDoomah]

When I DC's from my friend's game, I am still listed as a player in his game. If the player limit is reached, it prevents me from connecting.

I don't know if it is relevant, but I mainly DC because my router craps out.

Please post the log with the issue and the log from other peers or the server as well if possible.

[MrDoomah]

Ofcourse.
Heres my log:

Here's the log of the host:

The logs only show attempted connections without providing a password, the server logged the disconnections correctly. I assume the only problem was that the server browser was not updated.
Did you try to refresh the server browser manually?

[MrDoomah]

Tried refreshing the browser manually (at least I hit the refresh button at the bottom) and still doesn't work. Still shows me in the game and the player limit reached. Also when pressing the ok button on the player limit pop up, factorio crashed. See log.

Ok, crashing while in the server browser is already being investigated, so we can ignore that.

The issue then is, that the info the server browser is handing out is still keeping the disconnected peer as connected.

Does this issue occur everytime you leave the server like this, or is it only in some special circumstance

[MrDoomah]

Every time.

Some days I don't dc at all, but other days I can dc up to 4-5 times on an evening. This dc'ing is probably my internet, but every time I do, I can't reconnect because in the server browser it still lists me as in the game and player limit reached (because we set the player limit to 2 or 3, depending on how many we are for that evening).

Update: When removing the player limit I can join without problem. It seems that the server browser doesn't update properly, since when my friend just starts the hosting it also lists 0 player in game, even though he is already in there.
