well for some time now i am getting this weird problem
whenever a 4th player joins, my server isnt responding for me and the 4th player (and perhaps the other players as well)
when i check the server console, i see that me and the 4th player are getting a drop detection state

i have this problem with quite awhile now (from 0.13.8)

Thanks for the report,

The multiplayer is under a complete re-write, so issues such as yours will hopefully be resolved, but not very quickly or easily

well i found the problem
everytime a 4th-5th or 5th user wants to join my server, i need to delete mp-download.zip in the /temp folder

also, i am not the only one with this problem: viewtopic.php?f=191&t=28232

Hi there,

I suggested to my friend your method of deleting mp-download.zip - still getting hands and dropouts when I try to join after mp-download.zip has been deleted from everybody's temp folder.
