Yeah, someone else reported the same issue a few hours ago.
Apparently, a certain player is ‘‘auto-banning’’ players because of an exhaust error. Check on the Early Access Version 105 topic, people are talking about it.
There has been an issue quite recently that iIfireIi provoked with cheat engine by changing his spacecraft’ exhaust to an invalid one which also the server saved, whoever is in the area of that account will end up crashing their client, but they aren’t being banned, just wait out until the developer fix this which hopefully should be in a few hours.
But hey, in this case, ‘‘auto-banning’’ is still a term used in the Early Access Version 105 topic. It’s just a way to describe the issue. I guess we should call it ‘‘auto-crashing players’’, then?
