My setup is 2 player accounts, with 2 separate DROD accounts.

Difficult to actually point out when *exactly* this occurs, but it's been catching me out for a while. Now I think this is what happens:

Change Player -> Continue Playing Game

works fine *as long as the 2nd player hasn't, in the past, been in the 1st player's last newly visited room*.

In this case, the 2nd player will start from there. This could be isolated to the specific circumstance when both player's are playing the same hold only.

The reverse (switching from player 1 to 2) doesn't *seem* to be affected, though this could be due to the fact player 2's progress generally hasn't progressed as far as player 1.

Seems any progress is flagged against all user accounts, instead of checking which player it is... ?

OK, I think it's time for Syntax to admit that there's no such person as Vodka-and-Coke, and that he invented her for the sole purpose of finding as many multi-user bugs as humanly possible.

(Or did she invent him? Perhaps the Red King is dreaming them both.)

I think Syntax is beginning to wish he'd invented me...then I wouldn't be hijacking his computer so much (and recently stealing a few number 1's!)

Do you remember which specific rooms this occurred in with your dats? Are you able to reproduce this problem with specific steps? I can't make it happen.
