Yeah the topic says it all. I'm tired of not being able to play this great game properly. First of all I ONLY avoid that red disconnect plug(I get it EVERY time I join a server from the ingame server browser) if I join a server through the ingame console. So this means I have to join a server, and then type retry to connect to it again. If this was my only problem, then I could live with it. But no. Of course there has to be more. I get a black screen every second attempt to join a server, yes its just black and with the build XXX in the top left corner. This black screen prevents me from using retry, because when I do so after the black screen I get an authetication error, making me unable to rejoin the server. Is that all? Nope its not. like every 5th time I use the server browser ingame it just doesnt show any servers, so I have to close down the game and open it up again to try and get it working. So is there anything else? Yeah actually there is, now after fighting with these 3 things for about 15 minutes I finally got into a server and then suddenly for the first time ever i couldn't see player kills. there we're no messages showing when anyone got killed. I played on a official UWE server, so I guess it has nothing to do with mods but was just another lame bug that made me try to retry in console, and guess what happened. yep thats right, I got the lovely black screen.
I know two ways that would make the life of people with these problems less frustrating
example one: this is really something that I don't even get why is not yet implemented; the simple possibility of right clicking a server and seeing the IP address of the server before joining it. This would help alot because people with these problems would be able to type: connect and.then.the.ip:here in console, so they/we would avoid having to try to reconnecting which very often results in that annoying black screen.
example two: when you join a server the game simply automatically joins through the ingame console
PS you made an awesome game, you can be proud of that, but these things ruin it for some people. a fix would be much appreciated.
