Would it be possible to have a reconnect option on multiplayer games. There are a number of scenarios where you are disconnected (host not ready, connection dropped, needing to restart host etc.). It is a bit of a faff to go through all the menus again and then reshuffle all your windows - especially if your ISP is playing up and you have a few disconnects. Thanks!

I agree. It's especially annoying if you have a lot of sims as the Loader takes an absolute age to find the sims. Kev Log in to reply The following users said thank you: Ar88, 9pN1SEAp |

A reconnect option would be a very welcome improvement. It's a pain having to start from scratch when all you've done is made a typo in the IP address or forgotten to request the secondary port.

To echo previous comments - if you've got your multiple screens set up nicely and various windows in places (messages/F2 etc) and then have to redo ALL of it.... Not sure how easy it would be to set a "Reconnect" button up, but it would be brilliant! The Welsh contingent. Aron, or Ar to mates. Also known as 88E or ThatManCalledAr. Log in to reply |

And when you click to reconnect you get sent to the server details screen, allowing you to change details if needed The train now standing on platform 2, should be on the rails Log in to reply The following users said thank you: HST125Scorton, Ar88 |
