Stuck on finishing when joining a pitboss game.

[frenzyfol]

We have 10+ players who throughout the day will connect and disconnect to a pitboss server take their turn.

We always have problems with the server (3.13 version of bts) where a whole bunch of players will get stuck trying to enter the game. The client has chosen his civ, entered the password and the game data has been transfered. It gets stuck just before entry when the screen displays "finishing"

Anyone in the game at the time gets frozen with several messages about people trying to join.

The only way to get out of this lock is to make everyone disconnects and then one at a time start connecting again.

Is this the normal behavior of pitboss?

If it is I would like this to be considered a bug report if any developers are reading.

I think that's due to a connection issue between two players... it happens in normal MP also occasionally. Typically it's only when many players are all playing together, so my guess is one of the computers can't handle the bandwidth of the connection and/or has a firewall issue...
