Hello peeps I have encountered a small bug (I think). If I use IsNetworkActive() to check if the network is active, it will return 1 if it is still trying to connect but that I can around by using GetNetworkMyClientID() as that will return 0 until it connects. I try to close the network using CloseNetwork(), but this will crash the app (Windows 10, have not tried it anywhere else) if the network never connected to host. It seems that I can work around this by using GetNetworkMyClientID() (as it will become 0 if the network disconnects).

Is this on server or on client?

If on server, it'll work fine - if on client, it won't. To disconnect a client from a network, you need a bit different code. Actually, you need to send a disconnect request to server, then have server kick the client. and then listen for the client disconnect. It's a bit convoluted.

It is client side. But I got a workaround with GetNetworkMyClientID() as this will return zero when not connected yet or when disconnected.

The server handles disconnection really fine, if I just close the client with no disconnect request, the server still disconnects the client

IsNetworkActive will return 1 even if the network is still in the process of connecting, however it shouldn't crash when you call CloseNetwork during this process. Fixed for the next version.
