Client must be reset when disconnecting from a server in order to connect to another server

[alberttheprince]

What happened?

When disconnecting from a server, users will be stuck in "waiting for game to shutdown..." or unable to connect to other servers when exiting a server through the console. This requires closing the FiveM client to make sure you can connect to another server.

Expected result

You should be able to disconnect from a server, then immediately reconnect to another server

Reproduction steps

1. Join a server
2. Disconnect from the server (by quitting or through a server restart)
3. Attempt to connect to another server

Importancy

There's a workaround

It seems like what's happening is your GTAV game or instance is closing, then rebooting as if you were opening FiveM again. You can watch this happen in real time by opening the client console. It doesn't get fully 'stuck', and if you wait ~30s (depending on how speedy your system is), it'll connect to the new server when it's good to go. Sometimes just running quit and rebooting the application might be faster.
