Descriptive Problem Summary:

Whenever I try to load the game Lifeweb through the open location command, I instead get stuck on the Dream Seeker page that says "Your game will begin shortly". I have tried following the steps that are suggested, to no avail.
I know that I am not banned from the game, as sometimes I can actually connect.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:

1.) Attempt to connect to the game Lifeweb through the open location command.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:


Expected Results:

For the game to load.

Actual Results:

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? 95% of the time.
In other games? No.
In other user accounts? I don't know, Lifeweb has a function that bans you if you connect from a different account on the same IP>
On other computers? Yes.

When does the problem NOT occur?

5% of the time.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

It did not occur in earlier versions.

Workarounds:

None.
It sounds like that specific game just has a flaky connection. This isn't a bug issue at all.
Lummox JR resolved issue (Not a bug)
Last I remember, lifeweb has a rather low player cap compared to the number of people that want to play the game

Could there be something odd going on with the client getting disconnected shortly after getting connected?
