More information on the problem:

When loading a savegame, server's player is always assigned to company 0.

Steps to reproduce:
1. create a server
2. connect and create a new company with second player
3. save a game on a server
4. transfer game to second player's machine
5. load the game on second player's machine.

Use the cheat to change players. Ctrl + Alt + C -> Playing as player 1.

Workaround: Start OTTD as dedicated server and then a second OTTD as client. (openttd -D -g <save>)
