I suspect that once server has 1 slot free and couple of players connect at the same time, the other receives a message that the server is full and the other gets in. If someone disconnects at exactly the same timeframe as these 2 connected, there will be a ghost player born.

I have 6 ghost players on 24 slot server right now but not at the 30 slotters i have, at all. They won't show up in server status reply but will effectively be on the server. So the server thinks there are players, which it has already dropped but those nonexistant players are stuck in a limbo.

I assume you all who have this issue, have reserved slots in use or atleast hidden ones (or even 24 slot server or smaller?). It's quite common to happen on such servers.

  Yes, I sent an email to Robin, and I think they know of the problem, but
they don't know how to replicate it. If anyone knows how to reliably make it
happen to their server, send someone on the TF2 team an email about it.

A server restart is the only thing that fixes them.

Is anyone else experiencing ghosting players on their servers again?

I just had to restart both my servers, I had 5 ghosts on my 24man and
1ghost
on my 32 man.
