[ENet-discuss] roundTripTimeoutLimit with big ENET_PEER_TIMEOUT_LIMIT

[Alain Becam]

Hi,

   Thank you for your answer! Actually when they disconnect properly,
there is no problem. It is in case of crash that we have this problem.
Unfortunately it happens ;)

Hi Alain,

Is it possible for your peers to send a disconnection message before going
away ?

regards,
Ju
