Reconnect

NOTE: !EXPERIMENTAL! Only get this if you have severe reconnection issue. Also when hosting you should disable this mod. Either via r2modman or via /reconnecttoggle.

Auto-reconnect to lobby after unexpected disconnection. Will not attempt reconnect on deliberate leaves (quit button, etc.).

Features

• Detects unexpected disconnection vs intentional leave
• Attempts up to 3 reconnects with configurable interval and max attempt
• Cooldown prevents infinite reconnect loops
• Falls back to normal menu return if all attempts fail
• Hosts are excluded (only clients reconnect)

Disconnect behavior

Intentional disconnect

An intentional disconnect is any action where the player explicitly chose to leave:

• Clicking the Quit button in the pause menu

Sequence: The game's normal flow runs unmodified. The client disconnects and returns to the main menu immediately. No reconnect is attempted.

Unintentional disconnect

An unintentional disconnect is anything that triggers ConnectionLost without a prior intentional-leave marker:

• Host closes the game or crashes
• Network drop or timeout
• Host kicks the client

Sequence:

1. ConnectionLost fires on the client.
2. The patch suppresses the normal return-to-menu flow.
3. A notification is shown: "Connection lost - attempting to reconnect..."
4. The reconnect sequence starts. Up to MaxAttempts attempts are made, each waiting up to AttemptIntervalSec seconds for the connection to resolve.
5. On success: the client is connected again. The intentional-leave flag is cleared and the sequence ends silently.
6. On failure (all attempts exhausted, or StartClient throws every time): the normal menu-return flow is restored and the game returns to the main menu as if ConnectionLost had run normally.

A cooldown (CooldownSec) prevents a new reconnect sequence from starting too soon after the last one, avoiding rapid-fire loops if the host is unstable.
