Ok, heres whats going on. SFS 1.6.3.

User 1 creates game.
User 2 enters game.

User 1 leaves game.
User 3 joins LIMBO...

User 2 who is in limbo and the game room throws this error the instant user 3 joins LIMBO room... Yes, a user joining a limbo room is causing a client who has joined a limbo and a game room to crash...

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

It seems that there is a bug where when a user is in a game and a limbo room, and a user joins a limbo room... The user in the game receives a bad broadcast...

Update: I made it so users leave the limbo room as soon as they join a game, and there is no errors at all! Everything seems to be good now. I kinda wanted to leave my users in limbo too though...

User 2 who is in limbo and the game room throws this error the instant user 3 joins LIMBO room... Yes, a user joining a limbo room is causing a client who has joined a limbo and a game room to crash...

Sounds odd, as no updates is sent by the server when a user joins a Limbo room. I think the problem might be somewhere else... it would be great if you could describe a little bit better this scenario, step by step.

We've done a few tests simulating a similar scenario (Limbo room + dynamically created game room) and we didn't find anything.

I can send you the files if you want to take a look.

Edit: Just sent to the contact email.

thank you
