So last night I decided first time to stay and see what happens upon server restart. Sure got kicked out. Then client started attempting to reconnect (sure it takes time for server to reboot) and error message after error message started to appear, since it could not connect (since serv reboot needs time). Finally I logged back in, but seems serv was not fully booted, as my missions were not loaded (panel was blank).
So I came to these 2 suggestions:
1) On the connection lost error message there is a button "ok" and the action is to retry to connect. I think more suitable would be 2 buttons: "Retry" and "Quit game". Since someone might decide to exit the client (I personally wanted to do it, but decided to see when I would reconnect). Sure I can kill it but it's more user friendly to have a button and intelligently to intercept this event.
2) Not allowing casual users (not company users) to log-in until serv is fully booted. This would be hard to detect I guess, so just putting a time counter would be enough and upon error message would be nice to let user know after what time he would be allowed to re-connect. This will avoid my blank mission panel and who knows what else which not fully loaded.
Speaking of time, approx how much time the serv needs to fully boot and load all services? 5mins?
Thanks.
