Detail about "Host is migrating" issue

[TheWhitestOfFangs]

Whenever I get "host is migrating" and the game basically goes down back to the menu (rarely it actually migrates), I can't get back to the game and get the black screen issue.

I noticed that whenever this happens - the numbers in the galactic map don't update anymore!
Next time you get this issue - take a second and check the galactic map...
Anyone else notices it?

The game have a lot of issues in windows. Like alt tab and black screens. This said, I never encountered your problem yet.

I've also had this - constant issues with "connection was lost", host is migrating (always DC to main menu), and inability to join friends. Neither of us is using windows firewall, and it does work (rarely), but MP is otherwise largely unplayable.

Is this even being looked into? I've seen threads from a little too long ago with the same issues.

I have had worse issue.

My first launch of Helldivers was fine, everything peachy.
The next day when I launch it up again. My anti-virus caught plenty 6~8 .dll files, all related to network. I had to manually over-ride / restore those .dlls that were identified as virus and harmful.

Later that day I've played with my friends, and all of I sudden I kept getting host migration from my buddy. Everytime I joined into his game, I get the host migration. It'd take an eternity, so I have to Task Manager that crap everytime.

After that, my internet shuts down. Oddly enough, Steam chat was the only thing that manages to stay 'online', relatively. While nothing internet require works, not steam forum, not Chrome, nothing.

Ever since that day, my internet been having these issues at random day / time.


It's not my first horrible experience with Arrowhead developed stuff.
I still remember how I had to go out of my way to tweak my GPU settings just to stop it from crashing the first day. Fun game no doubt, but Arrowhead can certainly use some improvements.

I never had issues with Arrowhead's games (Magicka and Gauntlet) - both worked in MP flawlessly and peachy. Neither did I hear about such issues with those games by others.
So I'd guess you'r expirience is by far worse than what the majority experienced.

Nevertheless, none of you commented about the last bit of the update to statistics in galactic map (before and after DCs)

In theory, 'host migratiion' generally means either the host's connection has gagged or dropped, and the game should in theory transfer hosting to another player in the group. Or I think it can just mean the host just manually quit (or as sometimes happens 'rage quits').

We had this happen in a game either last night or this morning that I was in. I think in our case, it did manage to transfer hosting, and our game session continued, it just took quite a few seconds to get there.

I'm not saying it's great, but if they haven't been able to 'fix' this after 2 years, I don't suspect anyone has any magical technical solutions for this.

I've only started having this issue today. A few days ago I wasn't having this issue and yesterday wasn't a problem either. Possible server overload maybe with the free weekend going on?

[CaptWolf]

Yeah I can't get into any multiplayer matches at this rate, starting to feel like I wasted my money here.

[The Beer Baron]

Played a few games with peeps. I think its working fine now.

[TheWhitestOfFangs]

The issue here was mostly due to Steam actually.
The backgrund process of steam was not functioning well and caused drop in connection.
Since other games I play online do not actually use Steam process to maintain connection, I did not have it in other games.
That was the issue for me - nothing on the game side actually.
