People keep complaining they see a ghost in my games. One dagger or something. How do I get rid of that!?

Do you have any specific steps to reproduce this bug?

This bug existed since forever and seems to be totally random.
I also saw a bug where there were 2 instances of the same guy.
I had to boot the "fake" one or else the game wouldn't start, heh.

I remeber it happend to me on pre-1.5.1 versions - Myth often crashed just after finished game. I started myth, rejoined game and whoaa - there was often 2 of me - ppl didnt even noticed that I have crashed...

Myth used to show a blank nametag with a dagger next to it when someone connected to the host with other software for the purposes of cheating (reading whispered team messages). Myth today uses encryption so this can't happen any longer.

Apparently, starting a multiplayer rated game is all I have to do. People join and see the blank name with a single dagger.

This is happening to me again. How do I get it to stop?

Hmmm, i've heard of this problem happening as long as I have played myth. Usually its related to after a game in the post game, or something wacky like that. Any time I've seen it, I can just quit to lobby and join again and it goes away. Not sure about long term fixes though... hasn't ever been reproducible enough for me to determine any cause...
