Several issues that could prevent players from spawning at match start.

Connection failures could leave private lobby settings and bot controls unusable.

Quickplay lobby merging could reset bot votes and prevent solo matches with bots.

“Create New Lobby”(Happens when you quickplay with no available lobbies) now keeps your own lobby instead of automatically joining another.

Outdated join attempts can no longer overwrite or disconnect newer sessions.

Host disconnect detection now continues working across repeated lobby and match transitions.

Match launch now stops safely if a required player leaves while the map is loading.
