Severity *

Critical (Game-breaking/Crash): The game crashes or a core feature (like saving, loading, or network connection) is completely unusable.

Brief Description *

Prior to saving my friend Dave changed his VPN IP Address and disconnected, and was unable to reconnect to his slot, After reloading and trying the next day, he is still unable to reconnect to his player slot, When trying to replace him with princess it also puts princess as an observer instead of in control of player entity Dave(ghost)

Steps to Reproduce

Load save, try to replace Dave w/ a princess or connecting as "Dave".

Have not tried reproducing by switching VPN so unsure if it can be recreated and my friends and I personally don't have the time to test it, but was advised to upload it and the save here on the megamek discord.
