Reserved slots causing problems with joining the server
New, NormalPublic

Description

When trying to joing a server that has 60 player slots and all the not reserved slots are filled the client will attempt joining the server, not recognising that there are no normal slots left. Client will fail joining the server and return player from the server browser to main menu.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Set up server to have some reserved slots
  2. Fill the server with players on non reserved slotsm, leaving at least 1 reserved slot on the server open
  3. Try to join a server with an account that is not on the reserved slot list
Additional Information

There is no indication for client that the slots are reserved and no way for a client to know that it can't join this server so it attempts joining. This prevents the players from trying to join a full server (with some reserved slots still open). Additionally the fact that the client that fails to join the server is pushed from server browser to main menu prevents the players from trying to join by continuously pressing connect button.

I put the task in category "server" because I could not find anything more suitable.
