[2.0.11][Main Menu] Continue button not useful for server hosted from dynamic IP

[XaLpHa89]

In version 2.0.11 there is a button in the main menu to continue the last session. This button is useful, but it doesn't work very well. The problem is that I run a local, separate server, and since I run it at home, it has a new IP every day when viewed from the outside (outside the apartment). This means that after 24 hours it is no longer possible to press this button.

Thanks for the report however in this case there's nothing we can do. Any method we would use to try to keep track of which server you had joined may be invalidated with enough time.

You probably know better than I do, just one more tip: as soon as the address changes, the new address is automatically confirmed by pingpong. This means that you will find the new server in the server list. It would be nice if this mechanism also worked with the continue button.
