When joining my private server with mods, I'm experiencing a double-loading process

When joining my private server with mods, I’m experiencing a double-loading process that seems unnecessary. Here’s what happens:

1. I attempt to join the server
2. The game checks if I have the required mods (2 mods in my case)
3. It confirms I have the correct mods
4. Then it completely exits and restarts the whole process
5. Finally, it connects to the server

While I understand the need to verify mods on first connection, why can’t the game remember this verification for subsequent connections? When playing without mods, the connection is immediate. Are there any plans to streamline this process in future updates, or are there any current workarounds to avoid this double-loading behavior?

Because you do not have your mods set up this way. You can either A). go into mods from the main menu and set those two up in the order they appear for that server or B). instead of hitting launch hit continue. Hitting continue will put you into the last server you were in with the mods in the order they were in last without the need for the “double load” as you are experiencing. Though adjusting your own mods will do the say it will also have the effect of causing you to use those same two mods any time you play on your own single player game (assuming you do play on one).

Thanks Oduda. Continue does the trick!
