Closing Frostbite without exiting the game?

[MahtraDR]

Hi, I am trying to use Frostbite with lich, but I use lich with multiple clients.

I am trying to close Frostbite from the gui without having it exit the game.

I'm connecting to lich directly, but a disconnect from the menu sends an exit.

I've tried closing the window from the X top right, but that too, sends a disconnect.

I can close it with ctrl+c from the terminal I launched it from, but the problem there is then keeping track of multiple instances.

Is it possible, maybe via a native command in Frostbite, to close the GUI, without terminating the game session?

Thanks!

If you run lich directly in-client (by enabling "run lich" checkbox) it would be tied to the underlying process so that wouldn't work but you can always start your own detachable lich in console which honestly would be the preferred way to use lich (for typeaheads to work).

Run lich in console:

ruby lich.rbw --user_id USERNAME--password PASSWORD --login CHAR_NAME --without-frontend --detachable-client=8000

Then direct connect (the "any connect" option) to the given port:

Hi, I'm sorry, I didn't get back to this, as I had other things going on.

I was helping someone else out with a setup similar to mine, and they too tested, and have the same issue.

I already launch lich like you're describing:

lich.rbw --dragonrealms --login Mahtra --without-frontend --detachable-client=8000 

I connect to it via command line with frostbite --port on linux.

If I kill the frostbite process, no issue. My instance of lich continues on.

If I close the Frostbite from its UI, it logs me out of the game. Seems to be sending an exit command when I close it.

Is there a toggle I can set to stop it doing that?

Ok, i see, it does indeed gracefully quit the game and let the server know when closing the client but it should be sufficient to just close connections without the exit command.

I've made a few minor adjustments to only send quit signal to the server when disconnecting from the file menu. That way outright closing the client should leave lich running in the background.

This was a last minute addition so it's not tested but i'm pretty confident it should work.

Hi, thanks for responding so quickly.

I agree, the code change for this looks good, however, I can't launch Frostbite 1.15 at all on linux since the SSL changes.

The latest version I can launch is 1.14.0.

Using Fedora 35, and the latest openssl and openssl-devel packages.

vimes:~/Downloads/Frostbite-1.15.1b$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.1n  FIPS 15 Mar 2022

I'll open a separate issue for that.

Note the original issue I filed for exiting the game when closing the UI does seem resolved in 1.15.1b. Thanks!
