Can't start a FreeCiv by email game

[arran4]

I sent out an invite and the other user accepted. Then in the email when I click the link and login I get this:

Code: Select all

Welcome to the Freeciv version 3.0.90-dev Server running at play port 6114.
You are logged in as 'arranubels' connected to Arranubels
/take: arranubels already controls Arranubels.
/start: Not enough human players ('minplayers' server setting has value 2); game will not start.

The email I use reads:

I've tried clearing everything, changing browser, incognito.. It doesn't seem to let me continue. When I try start a new game it also seems to error out.

Strange. Did you or the other player change the minplayers setting? (Happens automatically if you use the multiplayer ruleset)

Can you please try again now?

I have released a fix for this problem. The relevant commit is here. I think it was a timing-related bug, hopefully the code is more reliable now.
