Have you tested this in the newest beta? There've been a couple of threading fixes, so it's possible one of them is relevant. I can do some testing on this myself to see what's going on too.

I can't get a 503 world to stay alive after someone joins it. It just freezes. No good info to offer you on that. Just noticed that this was happening in 501 towards the end of my session when I tried to change FPS seeker hung (seeker was hosting).

Just an update, the Daemon is also crashing in the same 503 hosting scenario.

Have you been able to replicate this with the newest beta, or latest stable version?
