Yes, this appears to be the case. While using direct connect from console, you get thrown into a lobby but after when i connect to the server again i just get dropped off with a message "you can only connect to this server via lobby". If i use the lobby to connect to it with new community system, same thing happens. I had another person to test this out and same thing happened to him. This happens now on 2 separate gameservers on different machines and hardware.
This is what happens when the last 4 people stopped playing on a server when they successfully managet to get in it. -- server console log -- Dropped Greb from server (Disconnect by user.)

I dont know how people get in to the server now.
