Unreachable-server UX: message boxes + bat guidance instead of a 'crash'
Field report (first internet-join attempt): both join bats 'hard crash' on the remote machine. Root cause was procedural -- the host session was not running -- but the failure PRESENTATION was the bug: Release Fail() is a bare abort(), so a dead relay = silent process death + instantly-closing console window. - L4NET: the two player-facing dead-ends (LAN discovery no-answer, seat request unreachable/full) now show a MessageBox saying what happened and what to do before exiting (verified live against a dead relay: 'BattleTech -- can't join the game' appears). - join bats: echo + pause after exit so the window stays readable; join_lan.bat header now says it is LAN-only (the remote user ran both -- join_lan can never work over the internet).
