*[0.13.1] Impossible to interrupt desync loop and close game

[IsoSchiz]

When connecting to my multiplayer server, I immediately get desynced, and thus get stuck into a permanent desync/download loop.

However, that isn't the problem I want to report here. The problem is that, once in that state, *I can't escape*! There is no way to bring up the menu (with Esc) while downloading the map or making a desync report, so I am trapped forever in this cycle. I have to force quit Factorio to get out of this.

Please consider always making it possible to open the menu and "Quit Game", even during download and other such actions.

Thanks!

I can confirm that it is not possible to interrupt a desync loop despite killing the process or in rare cases via "close window " command in the context menu of the application in the task-bar.

This is fixed for 0.14 as well.
Not only you can exit the game in any phase of connecting donwload etc, but the client is limited to 3 desyncs. After that he will not reconnect anymore.

The report was about the issue that, when you where in a desync loop it was impossible to ever get out of it but to terminate the process externally. It has been fixed by changing the behaviour of the application so that it will no longer try to reconnect after 3 desyncs. If you still have this issue than you are not using the latest version of the game.
