Had something weird happen tonight.

A friend disconnected and when he rejoined, the player list briefly showed two copies of his username.

One of them didn't move and disappeared after a few seconds.

Still figuring it out.

Could be a stale player entry after a reconnect.

Restart the server and see if it happens again.

If in doubt, back it up.

Restarted it. Haven't seen it again.

Still figuring it out.

I had that happen in an old build once.

For a second it looked like the server had loaded a player who wasn't actually connected.

Been here since beta.

Probably just a display bug. If it comes back, grab a screenshot before restarting.

If in doubt, back it up.
