Question about the auto-connect

Sometimes I need to quit and relogin the game, then I enable the auto-connect and the reconnect on disconnect function. But I found that it doesn't work, After I quit the game, It doesn't reconnect. and I have to mannually reconnect it.

But sometimes,when the network is not stable, the connection is broken accidently, this auto-connect function works.

Please help me analyze it, Do I have to enable any other functions?
Thanks a lot!

When you quit, the auto-connect disables as it should be. That is how it acts.

If it reconnected on a quit, then it would effectively be impossible to quit, so that is behaviour by design.

However in case you hadn't noticed, once disconnected, simply hitting <enter> tries to reconnect, so a single keystroke is all that is required to reconnect.

OK, I got it.Thanks.
Is there anyway to re-connect the game by triggers or some other ways when I need to quit and relogin the game automatically?

On the plugins page:

... there is a Reconnecter plugin which does that. It too, tries to not reconnect if you quit but you can configure it (about line 4) to specify what your quite command is. Just make the quit command some nonsense string and it will always reconnect.
