Host migration?

[ArterialSpray1066]

How long has the game allowed the leader to leave and a new person to become leader? Happened to me for the first time today.
Before its always been "Host left" (or whatever) and kicked back to your destroyer.

Next game after that the host left (think they crashed as it was mid multiple air strikes with bug buts flying everywhere) and it was the old message.
Was migration always a thing and it just crashes 90+% of the time?

Always has been.

If the host leaves on the Destroyer, the lobby disbands. If the host leaves mid-mission, you get host migration. Incidentally, the network host can migrate independent of the lobby host.

Seriously?!
Every time a host has left in the field before I've either crashed or been booted back to the destroyer after a couple of seconds freeze.

If the host migration fails, it will DC the rest of the squad but keeps the new host on the game. This happened a couple of times with me 'cause I have a shoddy 'net

Right, and the game is also really buggy :) I forgot to mention that bit. Host migration can fail and screw up all sorts of things - like crash you to desktop. Normally, though, the game will attempt to migrate host.

If you join a match hosted on PS5, host migration is likely to fail.

It has always been like that, though I have been in a couple of games where it just dumped everyone out of the game. That is just a bug though.

Warframe had in-progress mission join and host migration from the beginning (iirc) - that's why they've became popular.

Helldivers devs aren't even trying to please gamers, they are struggling with the obsolete graphics engine which the OG developer abandoned like 7 years ago

Lots of games have host migration, don't need to plug your favourite one or drop a steamer on this one... Though I admit the fact ive only seen it work correctly once is genuinely shocking to me. lol.

Warframe is just a daily login simulator to me, they;ve failed to survive as a game. Just like Helldivers. Although Warframe managed to live for ~7 years while Helldivers died after just 3 months
