It seems to think you want to join as a player, rather than a spectator, which isn’t the smartest thing the system could do.

It gets even worse because one of the players has a little bit lower elo than me

Hey @Darkillermon

Unfortunately we are unable to reproduce this issue, is there any settings we should be aware of?

Hi!
I THINK maybe I tried to spectate through the “spectate” option in aoe2.net, but after the first failure I copied the room number code, pasted on “search” and tried to open directly through the game, as in the picture. I tried many times and got this message in all of them

Hey @Darkillermon

Unfortunately we were still unable to reproduce the issue :frowning:
I have reported it, but do let me know if it happens again and any potential steps/causes!

Sure! [20 characters]
