Timeout and canceling connecting

Post by yeeha »

I have had problems sometimes connecting to official servers and private games(firewall,wrong ip) and i have noticed multiplayer system seems to want to connect forever forcing me to get out of game violently because quit and cancel dont function. So it would be good if there would be timeout or a way to cancel connecting.

I agree. I run into the same problem all the time.

There is a timeout. How long did you wait?

i dont know for sure as i wasnt really counting but i assume 40-60 seconds.How much time is required for timeout? If longer then cancel button should work when connecting, otherwise people like me get really frustrated :wink: .
