Kicked to Menu After Joining Co-Op Game (World Corruption)
Video Demo:

Save Download (Slot 3, 4 and 5): {LINK REMOVED}

Whenever I join my friends world, I get kicked to the main menu. Regardless of how I join (invited to lobby vs invited mid game), once both of us are in the world, I get kicked. We know it happens when both of us are in the world because when the game is started from the lobby, I end up spawning in the world about 30 seconds before the host. Once the host fully loads, I get kicked. Even if the host reinvites me, I still get kicked several seconds after joining.

This issue is world specific as we have tested this on 3 previous save points from the same world. We tested this on a new world and everything works fine. I also joined public co-op worlds with no issues.

We first noticed this bug after the v0.47 hotfix updates. It must be something with these updates because all three of our save points are bugged even though they are several in-game days apart. The point being, we were able to play and save the game prior to the hotfix updates but when the updates came out, our old save points stopped working properly.

We spent over 188 in-game days on this world alone without mods so we really don't want to lose our progress!

Can host send the Save file to ex914@hotmail.com along with a description of the issue

If you can get the Client saves as well it would be appreciated (You can find the save name for client in the hosts GUID file for the slot)

Sent the email! Thanks for responding. Can you also look at these 24 other 0.47 bugs we have posted. http://steamcommunity.com/app/242760/discussions/1/343787283747341438/

Hey there, it often helps to use a VPN to fix this issue. :)

I personal use TeamViewer for this. :) [Don´t forget to install the VPN driver.]

Not sure how that would fix this. We can connect just fine on other worlds. Only saves made from this world kick us after connecting.

Well, that just a suggestion, maybe you get kicked, because of a connection bug.

I had the bug, that if i host a lobby 2 times at the same day, no one can connect, with a VPN i could fix this.

But as I just said, we can connect just fine and have been connecting fine for several months. only until v0.47d do we have this issue on just this one world.
