I found the cause
someone pls join this game when they get onto the site
I noticed this ghost game and restarted the server.
If I had to guess a cause for the bug, it would be if a player starts an auto-join, but then disconnects from the site without turning it off, they still technically exist somewhere.
Then, if another player logs in, starts a game, sees the AFK player, then quits, the ghost account remains in the game lobby, assigned as the host of the game, and then this would trigger the "user is already in a game" error when you sign in with the same username again.
I will investigate and have a fix for the next update if possible.
I have confirmed my suspicions.
The bug occurs with the exact sequence that I have described.
- Player turns on auto join
- Player disconnects from site without turning it off
- Another player later makes a game, then quits before starting the game
- Ghost player is then assigned host and sits in the lobby
- User logs back in with same username, is soft-locked out of features.
Now that I know the cause of the issue, I can work on fixing it.

I'll also try to avoid doing such things after this

I have already fixed the bug, it will be coming in the next update.
I just have a few other bugs to try and fix, I have to overhaul the auto-join feature into a general "quick match" feature, and then adjust the bots behavior as well to be more intelligent.
Should have an update soon, but yea, good practice until then will be to simply turn off the auto-join when you are about to leave.
I found a bug on siege chess. It prevents me frim joining games.
