[Bug] Dedicated server won't stay in prospect when empty
As of the last update (2.2.5.123370), the dedicated server no longer respects "ShutdownIfEmptyFor=-1.000000" and kicks the server back to the lobby within about ten seconds of the last person disconnecting. This makes it impossible to keep an active prospect loaded for people to join, especially if "AllowNonAdminsToLaunchProspects=False".
The reason my (and many other) servers are set this way is to keep multiple saved prospects on the server, but keep the one that's actively being worked on active without having other people load different prospects that have been put on the back burner. And it's worked perfectly fine until this last update. I get that it's not "recommended" to keep a prospect active because it eats resources, but a dedicated server is supposed to function that way, it has to get restarted at least once per week anyway to get the update, and since I've built the server I can guarantee that it has enough resources.
Please fix this regression.

I did fix this by setting the two shutdown timer variables to 604800 (1 week) instead. Since the server gets restarted every week to apply the updates anyway, that's effectively the same thing.
