Im posting this as a bug because to me it is like it. Why someone introduced this change? When game looses connection to the server and try to reconnect and cant do this, it display message that it cant connect. All ok to this point. So my next step is to just close game but i cant do this because i have to first click OK. My question is why someone changed this, when it was working fine??? I dont want to click OK before i close game - iv already read this message, and even if not, its not important anymore, dont you think?

don't you have checkbox that says "don't show this message again" on that message? If you check that, you shouldn't see the message again

Yes, i checked this window that asks me if i really want to close game so it not shows up. Problem i would like to be solved is that every modal window (that one that does not allow to do anything except to click OK while displaying message) is preventing from closing game, and previous it was not happening. I dont see any single reason why i have to confirm that window when i just want to close game. For example: 15 mins before downtime modal window shows up and tells how much time left, so i want to just close game but i cant do this because i have to click OK first. Sorry but this is annoying.

Im playing in windowed mode (and im closing game window using windows close button, not esc->quit game) maybe thats the problem.

Stop using named windows, and train to use Tech 2 ones.

Also, tried cleaning cache? Nobody else but you seem to have that problem.. i sure don't, and i know what windows you are talking about. They have the "don't show this again" checkbox and it works.

If you say that those windows that i am talking about have checkbox, then you clearly dont know what i am talking about and perhaps even dont know what modal window is. But never mind its not worth my time :)

Since like i said i dont have time to post and host pictures if you still dont understand, then i will tell you it another way. Log in to the game 1 hour and 5 mins before downtime, come back 4 mins before downtime. Now you have 3 modal popups that say the downtime is coming. You cant simply close game, because you have to click 3 times to close those confirmations before you will be able to close game. 4 clicks to exit is kind of much.
