NetworkManager immediately disconnects from the server on pressing X on window

I have set Application.wantsToQuit to trigger a method which will display a confirmation dialog. Only when pressed Yes, will the application actually quit. But NetworkManager doesn’t seem to care about that. The moment I press X, it’s over.

I tried asking chatgpt but it doesn’t have any solution for this. Has anyone else encountered this? How did you resolve it or worked your way around it?

Here’s my code:

private bool quitConfirmed = false;

private void OnEnable() => Application.wantsToQuit += QuitConfirmBox;
private void OnDisable() => Application.wantsToQuit -= QuitConfirmBox;

public void Quit()   /* called by pressing YES when prompted */
{
    quitConfirmed = true;
    if (NetworkManager.Singleton != null) NetworkManager.Singleton.Shutdown();
    Application.Quit();
}

private bool QuitConfirmBox()
{
    uiManager.ConfirmQuitMessageBox();
    return quitConfirmed;
}

private void OnApplicationQuit()
{
}

Removing the Shutdown calll from the code didn’t make any difference.

Bruh, has no one encountered this issue?

I tried this on macOS and what I observed is that even if wantsToQuit returns false MonoBehaviour’s OnApplicationQuit is still called, even though the application won’t be shut down. I don’t know if there’s a way of preventing this happening. :man_shrugging:

You can check the NetworkManager code for OnApplicationQuit and if that does nothing but call Shutdown() then you could just comment that out.

I’ve encountered the same problem and haven’t figured it out yet, does anyone have a solution?

This doesn’t do anything because the NetworkManager is locked and any change is reverted immediately
