Bug #6800

Play button 'burns' out and does not return when a player leaves before game start

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	Anonymous on September 2, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.1.1
Actual Result:	Play button burns and does not return
Expected Result:	Once a player "late leaves" the lobby the play button field should reappear with all its infos.
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Ready up in a game
2. Wait until the last 5 seconds (where everyone gets ready automatically and the new "Play" field "burns away")
3. Have one player leave the lobby
4. The Play button and its info never return in this lobby.
5. You can still ready/unready yourself by clicking in the area where the button/fiels usually is.

Explanation

When readying up in a lobby and a player leaves within the last 5 seconds before the game starts, the play button already got "burned" and does not return after that. This results in missing information (timer, ready status). The area where the button resides is still working, so you can ready or un-ready yourself by clicking in the empte area. Also see the screenshot.
