GF FP invitation shown during loading screen - then closed

Hello,

 

I've come across this, and it's a very nasty bug - which consequences are not clear on first sight.

 

I've been in the Group Finder for an FP.

My character was arriving at Alderaan.

 

Alderaan = LONG loading time for me ! Over 1 minute !

Group Finder Invitation dialog display duration = 1 minute.

 

The result was that durung the loading of Alderaan - when I was seeing NOTHING BUT the usual Alderaan loading screen - meanwhile that loading, the Group Finder Invitation dialog was shown. I know that because a friend was queued together with me for the same FP (we were in a group of 2, actually).

 

I didn't see it.

All I saw was the usual Alderaan loading screen - and that for OVER 1 minute !

 

The result of that was - according to the friend, because I couldn't see it because all I saw was the Alderaan loading screen, meanwhile the friend's character was elsewhere - that the dialog got closed , because I didn't respond.

 

This can be particularly bad on very small servers with a lower population.

 

In short :

 

GF queuing

Loading Alderaan for more than 1 minute

GF invitation popping up - duration = 1 minute

Invitation not visible because of loading screen

GF invitation closed.

 

I know, I should have been going out of the GF while loading Alderaan, but we 2 were queuing as a group.

 

The only solution that comes to my mind now is to NOT load ANY other bigger area during FP queuing.
