This whole "Host Left The Game"

[Punished One Eye Jack]

Is REALLY starting to get under my skin....


It was an issue at launch, and it's STILL an issue all of this time later...WHY?!?!?!
Host migration is not a new concept. I just bought a bunch of DLC to come back into the game, and out of the last 10+ matches i've played...only ONE was actually finished without the host leaving.


And yes, I know the answer is "host yourself then". But I should be able to hop into a game without issues like this. You want our money? Fix console peasant like issues.

I have the same opinion

Host migration is not possible because.

A) The Host is hosting a DLC heist that some may not have.

B) The host is running a modded lobby.

And how do you want to ensure that there is always someone, who owns the heist (if it's DLC)? Because only those people can host, who own the respective DLC.

Also while host migration is a thing, it only works in multiplayer games, where once the match ends, so does the "server" too. In PAYDAY 2 as long as you don't leave your own lobby, you are continously hosting even when the heist is over. And PAYDAY 2 still doesn't have ANY servers that would check if someone has a good enough connection to become the host. So nope, host migration is not gonna happen in PAYDAY 2.

Also the general answer is not "host yourself then", it's HYOG.

First thing first, host migration is a built in when dev started for the game because it links to networking and transfer of data to sync, so it's not possible for payday 2 at this stage.

Well very few people run massively modded public lobbies (outside of hackers). DLC issue, fine just have the game crash. FOr the other 90% let there be host migration.

There's just the fact that they already said a few times that Host Migration won't come.
