I'm not sure that's a bug. Here is my educated guess as to why that occurs.
So, a game can have 18 players. The game will never allow more than 18 players in at a time. However, there are players leaving and joining games every second. Because of that, it doesn't make sense to have the site display data in real time, as it would be massively resource intensive. Instead, the game sends the site pings of data at certain intervals of time, let's say ever 30 seconds. So, at the ping 30 seconds ago, the game had 16/18 players, so the site shows 16/18. However, in that 30 seconds, 2 more people joined the game. The site will still display 16/18 until the next data ping, however the game knows it is full, and won't let you join. |
