    As the subject line reads: Fast camp goes to server select screen and half the time, get booted completely when trying to get back in because "Someone else" is already logged in. I thought this was fixed.?

    I have not had this happen to me since the fix, across 3 pc & 5 account it seems to work fine.

    Is this happening every time for you?

    Not every time.

    That tells me something else is probably going on, prior to the fix this was happening to me every single time without fail on every account on every pc.

    You have an intermittent bug that may be specific to your set up, since you appear to be the only one coming to the forum with this post-fix.

    I would suggest working through the "copy pasta" list of fixes I will post below and if nothing there helps petition for some tech support.
