Summary: I am unable to join a game that has been set to allow more than 8 players (9-16) through the IA menu when they have more than 8 players already playing.

Repro: fill up a 16 player game with 8 players, try to join from the IA menus like the main screen or the Legions join game button.

When the server goes down to less than 8 players you will then be able to join the server as normal.

Note: not tested yet whether party url invites/player invites will solve this problem or not but I have managed to have more than 8 players in a server when I had previously passed out a server link on irc.

This should now work.

Anyone confirm this?

As of the current IA/Legions build this >8 player bug is still there.

p.s. party invites or links do allow people to join, its just the normal IA friendslist/server browser that doesn't work.

Ok, now this is fixed.. right?

as far as I am aware the bug still exists.

This bug still seems to occur on the newest build.  I was unable to find a 9+ player game being hosted by Darklord tonight through the Join Game menu.  However, unlike what has been noted before, I was able to join it through the Friends List Join button.

I saw one server that I think was a 16 player server, the player indicator was 0/0 but it was under the name of the guy on my friends list--- and the friends list reported it was a 16 player party.

That was me attempting to attract players to test this bug...it didn't exactly work so well. Someone in IRC will probably schedule a test.

I joined the pickup game today through the game menu when it was at 15/16. The 0/0 "full game" BS is something presumably unrelated (the web team is working on that.. in fact, Nathan pointed it out to me earlier today). The question is: are there still instances where there is player count denominator over 8 and a player count numerator of at least 8 can you successfully join that party via the normal channels (i.e. other than direct party invites or friend list trickery)? As far as I can tell, that's working.

Previously, direct friend invites were the only way to join a game with a player limit over 8 past the 8th player due to a jabber issue. If you got into a party over 8, in-lobby party chat would stop working and only 8 players at a time would actually be able to enter the game. Unless anyone can confirm for sure, I'd say that issue is resolved (given the 16 player PU earlier today where people where consistently filling empty slots up to 16).

Unless anyone peeps up, I'm considering the issue resolved and this thread can continue on the topic of the new 0/0 full game bug and similar bugs.

I was able to join ZhouYu's party at 8/16 making it 9 players, so this seems to be working now.
