Autohost derping with merges?

Was playing a game against CAI with 2 other players, when suddenly the game closes itself and starts another one. Turns out i was somehow moved to another battle where other players just started the game, throwing me out of the one i was playing (i did not see the other 2 players in the new host).

We started our game on Iodine 15:11, 15:27 Iodine apparently decided to ditch us and was used in another battle room (battle chat says i joined a new room with Iodine again), where the game starting killed our own game.

Now, it wouldn't be that much of an issue if you get moved/merged/whatever while playing if it wouldn't end the game you are in once a new one starts.

Thoughts? Comments?

Interesting. I was idling in some lonely custom host room (i was probably the only one, but i don't know, i was idling...), when it suddenly got merged with a team game room (copying the name of the custom game). Even better, despite that battle having started 5 min ago, my spring fired up and basically rejoined me into the game. What the hell?

System is indeed meant to merge open games with not enough people together.
But only games which are not running, not locked, not passworded etc.

I dont see how it could move you while game was runing. That hasnt happen to anyone else as far as i know.

I can provide you with the, well, logs of the battle room chat.

I can ask the other 2 guys what happened to them, however no replay of that game even exists...

Edit: Oh, i still have the local copy of it, and it's not listed in my recent battles. Which kinda proves my point i guess.

None of the other players are online atm though.

Its not listed in battles? That sounds like a springie (autohost) crash.
If autohost crashed such thing could happen (it would restart mark the game as "not in game").

I have experienced a similar thing, when I played with neikosensei and someone else with cai.

The game server moved when we almost finished the battle. neikosensei was moved and I was the only one ingame.

Hm, nobody seems to care enough to fix this.

Right now i'm trying to get a game going on Iodine1. Iodine is ingame and Iodine2 is filled but not playing. After 20 seconds of being in Iodine1 it merges me to Iodine2, no matter what i do during that time.
Is this really intended?

Few days ago I used to play against CAI occasionally in TEAMS room (Springie host), it almost always merged players into my game despite it being already ran, so they complained that start didn't work, etc. Without even noticing me playing with CAIs. :D
