A bug or something?

From when the server updated to 1.7, most of us (players) are getting this problem when joining "Same nick is already playing", could you please fix it?
Thanks.

Basically, this isn't a bug.

When a player loses connection from the server, and his computer disconnects from the server, the server doesn't know anything that's going on because it's sending signals and not receiving them.

The player stays logged in until it times out, is kicked, or something similar happens.

You can usually join right back after a few minutes or up to 10 minutes. If someone's on the console and see's the "same nick is already playing" notification, then the person on the console needs to kick that player so that they can rejoin.

Unlocked for a bit just to confirm things.

Does it only happen when you lose connection or leave the server? In which case, Just wait about 30 seconds to a minute to rejoin. I'll look at it and reduce the time, if I can.

If it's happening even if you have not been on the server, let me know.

I'll explain:
When I'm playing, I get kicked for an unknows reason, after waiting 5 seconds, I try to rejoin and it tells me "Same nick is already playing". Even if I kept trying, It will keep telling me this, so when I restart my minecraft , I can rejoin again.

This is probably a Minecraft thing. There's nothing I can do about it. When you lose connection you linger in the server for a bit. Wait about 20-30 seconds before rejoining and you should be good.

Yes kaise, but it's not only me, there's a lot of people getting this problem, so it's maybe a server bug?

actually the wait is not necessary, just don't re-join on the same server list screen, refresh it once as soon as you DC, wait for the server you want to stop buffering in, and you should be able to join immediately.

I know that. I'm saying it's an issue with Minecraft. It's made slightly worse by NoCheat, to stop fast reconnect spam AFAIK.

Even better

Bump for this, since it's useful information.
