Lost connection = Kicked out?

[Shelt]

This is happening more frequently during games, and I'm about to just stop playing.

Going on a mission with 3 other randoms, get near the end of the mission and start heading back only to suddenly lose connection. I can't tell if I'm being kicked intentionally, as I suspect some little subhumans of doing for Lols, or if the game just suddenly loses my connection for whatever reason.

I rarely play on connections that are other than marked 'close' so it shouldn't be an issue.

All communities for these games are pretty bad/toxic but this one wasn't really until recently.

If you got kicked, it would tell you.

I guess I can just run my own pub games an see how that goes.

This. You're just disconnecting. Either you or the host is the problem

K thx

It's theoretically possible that the host is deliberately turning off their internet. That gets you a disconnect message instead of a kick.
Seems unlikely multiple people would do that though.

The host is likely losing connection, which disbands the whole team.

It's either a connection problem, like the others said, or the host may have just crashed. I've had quite a few disconnects where I think the host crashed, including more than a few when we were on our way to the extraction pod (I don't know if that's a coincidence, or there's something about the extraction phase that has been prone to cause problems for some).

When you get disconnected, you can go to the server list and check the open and full servers to see if that game is still listed. When I do that, the game is almost always not there, or not there for long, so I assume that the host crashed. And if it was just a disconnection, you may be able to rejoin the game from there.

Some people report having more disconnects maybe you are one of those few unlucky once.

Anyway not every issue is a personal attack towards you.

I suggest you start hosting your own games OP, seems odd that your initial reaction would be to just quit instead.

Being kicked gives you an entirely different screen, sounds like you've not been kicked ever or you'd easily know the difference. Nobody's been toxic towards you.

usually ppl join really fast when i make a public game.
also, the game tells you the distance to your host, so try to join games that show as CLOSE
