Title: Custom Arena Not Closing Out Properly
Post by: Mongoose on July 19, 2018, 09:38:26 AM

  I was making some adjustments and doing some testing with the configuration for a custom arena.  When I closed the arena, it didn't close properly.  The "Canyon Tag" arena still showed on the list, but showed was marked with an asterisk.  When I tried to create a new arena, I got an error saying I already had an arena open.  When I tried to enter the arena to close it (even though I had already closed it), I got an error saying the arena was full.

It finally closed after about five minutes.

Isn’t that how it is supposed to work?

Did you click on "Shutdown Arena" in CM Tools or just exit?

I went to CM Tools and Shutdown Arena.  I reported it just in case it is not a one time glitch.

I haven't had problems stopping mine. Whole heap of problems setting it up (http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k526/rwrk2/facepalm.gif)

I thought Skuzzy said it stays up for five mins after the last player leaves.

Fifteen I think so you can go to MA and tell people. 'Shutdown Arena' ought to stop it immediately, I believe.

I believe this is a bug. I had similar to what the OP stated. I used  'Shutdown Arena' and clicked on the confirmation and the arena disappeared from the arenas list. Then when I tried to set up a new one it said I already had another arena and indeed it was there but said Closed. Had to wait out the fifteen minutes for the arena to be automatically removed.

Indeed. Patch 15 - I created a custom arena and used CM Tools/Shutdown Arena, and lost host connection.

When I went back, my custom arena listed as Closed and I was unable to enter.

Of course, I was also unable to create a new custom arena, presumably not until the timer for an empty arena runs out.

Edit: Yes, the timer ran out and I was able to create a new arena.
