Rejoining games as spectators instead of player in some cases

[Dunedan]

So how is the status of this bug with Alpha 27? Does is still happen?

I haven’t noticed it happen yet.

I haven't noticed it either. There's a lot of OOS and stuttering so maybe I missed it but I can't remember this happening in A27.

I have noticed this happening on a few occasions. It does seem to be a bit less frequent that A26. 

However, the big improvement is that this error is no longer persistent. If somebody rejoins as spec, the host kicks, then they restart 0ad completely, and error fixed. In A26 it was more severe in that even after rebooting computers, they still rejoin as spec. 

The most remarkable improvement is that players who initially wasn't assigned a rating by ratingsbot can also rejoin the game after gaining rating. 

In the worst case scenario, host can save game and re host. So the problem is solved
