Feature Request: After disconnect, give users "reconnect" option when relaunch the game

It's 2020, plz add

from Stardock Forums

Many modern RTS have a "reconnect" option when you get a disconnect due to a game crash or other issue.

For my friends and I, ashes crashes so often that we call it "crashes".  Frequently, we'll be 15m in just when the game is getting good and the game will crash for one of us.

Can you add a "reconnect" option so dropped players can rejoin? This would make the game 10x more enjoyable for my friends.   As is, the chance of 1 person crashing is quite high when playing with 4 or more people, and it just makes this game unplayable for us.

This would be a nice feature but unfortunately I can't see use adding to Ashes at this point. Maybe in the sequel. What you can do is load a save game if you are playing with friends and want to resume a game.

Loading from save seems like a good option, if it works.

The game just crashed 5m before the end with 5 people playing.  We tried loading from save, and 3/5 loaded successful, the others, it hung on the loading screen for about 3-5m,  and then it crashed for everyone. We were not able to load from save.
