Hi everyone,

I would like your advices on how to handle loading errors which is dependent on network or maybe timeouts from server. I have a game hosted on a dedicated server but it seems that some users from different locations are experiencing loading errors.

Is there anyway we can detect a timed-out loading? How should one handle loading errors for an online game in general depending on network connection? For example, loading of game assets etc.

Thanks!
