Ah the old multi tab-loading exploit. Forgot all about that one. Always fun to put Helios on your stealth.

OK then this isn't the old retail exploit. That didn't exist in single and actually required lag to do. You couldn't tab-load if you were the host.

This has more layers to in terms of general existence. And it's also a Retail Present behaviour, so "fixing" it is technically "breaking" retail.
