The engine's displayPlayer was used internally to store which player is being rendered in a particular viewport. However, the game was setting the displayPlayer value and expecting it to affect the console player.
DD_DISPLAYPLAYER is no longer writable through the API. R_SetViewPortPlayer() must be used instead, as it will set the viewed player for a specific player (in a specific view port).
Fixes the problem of Hexen's view going blank after disconnecting from a netgame and starting a new game.
