Use-case for releasing files after reads or loads
- Accelerates script development, especially if the scripts are read from files.
- Allows hotfixes and run-time changes of configurations/settings.
- Increases interoperability and file-based interfacing.
Client-side, to release files held by a multiplayer session, it is necessary to back out to the multiplayer server selection screen.
Server-side, it is necessary to restart the server.
Please, prioritise this. Not releasing files after reads and loads is not very professional.
