Unable To Close New Server Crash Message

[uintancæstir]

The crash message can sometimes pop up mid round, and it is unable to be closed.
Is it possible to give us access to chat again, too?

The !server list (and crash menu) have been updated to match the new UI/UX design. The cursor should now always automatically pop up. Access to chat is disabled since if the server is crashed, it is not functional. Pressing the escape key will instantly open the GMod menu and should not be blocked.

There's no close button?

Is there no close button?

The close button only appears when !servers is typed (or opened via ULX). If the server crashes, the close button will not appear since the server has crashed/client timed out (hence there is nothing to interact with).

The message can come up mid round and I would be able to close it if the button was there.

Are you saying the menu appears mid-round while you are playing but the server hasn't crashed/you haven't lost connection/timed out?

Yeah, when I lag spike a bit.

The menu should automatically go away upon regaining connection/the server sends a ping. Does it go away or remain?

It happened during bomb rush.

It stays there for a few seconds, this was during Bomb Rush.

Ok, thinking about this, your client may regain a connection before the server sends out its next ping to all players. My desktop is all boxed up and being shipped across the country, so I'll add this to our issues backlog and assign it to a developer to look into and start working on a solution if this (or something else) is the case.

Aka, the server menu should disappear immediately upon the server lag spike ending/when you regain connection, not when the next server ping interval is.

If you can go ahead and edit your original post and thread title, I'll go ahead and reopen this and move it back to the main TTT bug reports node.
