Kicking issue, cross play.(Info gathering)
Yeah you are all here, in the steam forums(PC)

To those who are being kicked a lot.
I would like to know how many if you have cross play ENABLED.

A current theory is that there is a divide between those that play with console players, and those who refuse and turn off crossplay.

So, how many of you that are getting kicked a LOT, are playing with crossplay on/off?

In my current playtime, I have not been kicked once.
Granted, a lot of the time I host myself, but when I join random hosts, they don't kick me either.

Crossplay is enabled, however I did not sign into PSN.
Unsure if signing into PSN is required for crossplay to work or not.

Crossplay off: I am not kicked a lot.

Some WTF moments when it was On, "samples stealing" was always the most hilarious one > goes to game setting > Off, sorry to the good PlayStation players out there.

I was kicked a couple times at extraction, hosts who clearly didn’t know as many in depth strategies about the game.
It was a handful of times in 600 missions but enough to sour my taste for egotistical hosts with delusions of grandeur.

Cross-play turned on unfortunately, I have a couple workfriends on ps5.
My partner is also on ps5.

so far 2 pc players with it off, don't get kicked a lot.
1 PC player with it on, has a bit more issues.

Well so far, I am seeing why it's a theory at least.

I've been kicked... probably less than 5(?) times in 270ish hours.

Crossplay enabled.

been kicked a few times; one time was i dropped an orbital on the host when a bug slapped me; all other times were mostly ps5 users who also did the funny FF your samples are now mine at release.

turned off crossplay after those few times, mostly been kicked by chinese hosts now

I have it on. At level 29, I never had a single "toxic kick." My kicks are usually at the lobby beginning which aren't a big problem.
I mostly match with Asians.

120 hours. I am on Playstation with crossplay on (but even with off, I would get other ps5 players).
I have been kicked twice, but only on the ship immediately after entering the lobby, not during a mission.

134 hours, lv 38. Been kicked 3-4 times and all were by a single diver right after dropping in mission. I just assumed they were farming and didn't have friends only set. No toxic kicks. Crossplay on.

enabled due to the bug that has yet to be fixed regarding Pc crossplay -> disabled pc crossplay connectivity, because PSN integration. nearing lv 70 and kicking mid-mission doesn't happen to me specifically, but i have witnessed it to others.

i very much can see the range of people who are kick happy to those burning reinforcements or just playing abysmally bad. not just inadequate given context, but were talking jar-head kind of bad, lacking awareness or tunnel visioned immensely. those people I often see at the bell-end of a kick.

anytime i got kicked was always on the destroyer because heaven forbid i forgo to ARR PEE hug the host/anyone offering. im here to dive not play garry's mod darkRP.
sometimes i get kicked for reasons that are not apparent, not even in a mission just kinda, on the destroyer awaiting hellpod prep and i get the boot.

i considered kicking once, but only once, because of the aforementioned tunnel visioned jarhead of a diver, was effectively playing this game in single-player mode.

Crossplay on

Kicked 5-6 times in ~50h.

The last kick was hilarious, level 76 dude wrote in the chatbox he is kicking anyone below level 50 (i am ~30) for the mission which was level 5 or 6 can't recall.

almost 150 hours, been kicked once and thats by a really inexperienced host/player.

if you are getting kicked more than once per 10 hours /played IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT, revise your behavior or just host your own games.
