A dedicated server doesn't retry a failed session save
Merged for the next release; tested with the dedicated server and in the game.
Shippedstep 8 of 8
The dedicated server saves its session by replacing the session file. On Windows that can fail if another program, such as antivirus, has the file open. The time of day doesn't count as a change, so a failed save is not tried again until something else changes and the saved time can be out of date. We plan to retry a failed save at the next check.
