Damn! Will that "Waiting for players" bug ever be fixed?!

I am talking about a bug when at the end (or the beginning) of matchmaking race game just sticks with "Waiting for players" message and doesn't react to anything. Exept exiting by Alt+F4.
And while this but is frustrating enough on it's own, the most aggravating thing is that after I quit the game, it applies to me penalty for exiting. It's not that I'm careing really much about raiting, but still, seeing it drop just because of technical issue and being unable do anything...

As I understand any bugfixing and improvement of SART is stopped long ago as the game itself rather old. But really, why devs couldn't fix the but at that time?!

That's was a lobby host's fault. Excepting for that there's no issue with race's beginning/ending. Take in mind that if some player gets "black screen" (game crash) lobby will also get stuck until the one/s who crashed closes the game.

NO. It's devs fault. They didn't take into account that if one of players chases everyone is stuck. They could make some check, like if host or other player don't respond for half a minute, game would continue with new host or without chashed player.

Anyway, the network search and hosting are one big mess in SART.
