#Dedicated Server - AutoSaves issue

After the update to 42.17.0, members of our dedicated server community have started complaining that they experience the RCON save world behaviour (darkened screen, the words "Saving" flashing on screen, and a slight pause) at intervals that seem to match the SaveWorldEveryMinutes setting in our server.ini file.

Prior to the update I believe this auto save was silent and did not affect clients, and only a manual RCON save command would make them experience that behaviour client side.

Is this something that has changed? Or is there config we can update to fix this? It is very disruptive client side, and increasing save intervals introduces a larger risk window for the world state in the event of a server crash or restart.

This was a necesary change due to some saving issues with the background saving process, I would suggest forwarding it as a bug that it should be fixed eventually.
