Dedicated Server + Client hangs UI when opening Singleplayer Menu #1226

Open WardenDrew opened 3 years ago

WardenDrew commented 3 years ago

Game Version: 1.15.2
Platform: Windows Modded: No

Description

When running a dedicated server in the background, opening the client on the same computer and selecting "Singleplayer" at the main menu locks up the game until windows asks to kill the process. Notably while the application is hanging it has stopped responding to winapi events and cannot be alt-tabbed or killed.

How to reproduce

  1. Start a dedicated server
  2. Start a client on the same host
  3. Try to open the singleplayer menu in the client

Expected behavior

There are a couple options here. At a minimum the work being done that currently hangs the thread should be moved off of the UI thread to prevent the application from hanging.

An ideal option would be to show the list of saves, but indicate that the save being loaded by the dedicated server is "unavailable" with maybe an explanation why.

Alternatively, just a hard notification that singleplayer is unavailable while a dedicated server is running would bandaid this.

I have this same issue in 1.16.4 on Linux. The music keeps playing but the graphics stop rendering and it takes a SIGKILL to close it.
