My friend and I have been experiencing this a lot. As well as when I'm in random peoples world too. Not sure what that's about. I would be curious to know if there's a fix, or if they're working on it.

Its annoying as ♥♥♥♥. Have decent internet too.

The game is p2p, so if there is an issue with connecting to other players it is either your net or the hosts net. Are you connecting with a Wifi or a LAN cable?

For clarification: cable/ethernet cable has a lower chance of disconnection issues from what we've heard

It used to happen to me a lot too, but after using VPN it keeps my connection stable. I don't know why, but it works.

Do you Alt+tab out of the game regularly? I remember that being a weird quirk that would cause disconnects

Maybe I don't understand p2p well, but just a couple days ago, my friend and I went into an arena mission and I sent up the flare as a host. 2 others joined. midway through the fight, everything stopped moving, my friend told me all 3 of them were still fighting, but to me everyone was sitting still, even the monster.

After like 3-4 minutes, the monster started moving again but they were gone. He was telling me it said I left the mission on his end and all 3 of them were still fighting. How is it that, as the host, I got booted but not them?

Peer-2-Peer networks (p2p) are where one player acts as the host server and has all players connect to them, as opposed to a centralized server structure where all players connect to one host server.

Yeah that's how it goes with disconnects for network issues. The game will let whatever player lost connection become a host in a new session, and the one old players will then become the session host. It also does this if you're kicked out of a random group. Since you're the one who got booted and they remained together, the issue is your network 100%. As stated above, wifi can be a culprit but so can any number of things. The first step is to move to a wired connection if you are on wifi.

I'm not on wifi, and my internet is beyond good. Which is a bit frustrating. But thank you for your explanation. I also have zero issue on any other games. Including the souls series, which I believe classify as p2p

Im connected via Ethernet cable, maybe its just the host that i join, ill try making my own lobby see if that makes a difference

Oh even after 5 years the Servers are still crap? Such a sad thing this still happens even after the release. I even wrote about this in my review.

exactly while you are the server
people trying to play on thousand different hard and software, while being completely clueless when it comes to the details of correct config

keep the fps as similiar as possible in the team or you can already expect desynch when potato guy tries his luck on barely 30fps in a group with uberchad with his fancy 240hz monitor while also running the game at same fps which might also cause some crashes because it is too much fps for the engine

the game was designed for 30 and 60 fps

low ram can become a trouble maker, when you are out of memory midgame and the slow hdd pagefile kicks in, it might be less trouble, if you run a ssd and simply buy more ram. iam talking about 8gb ram guys on a heavly third party software polluted os. there are special versions of windows which consume less ram simply google tiny windows and deactivate background software

alt tabbing in combo with fullscreen mode can cause dc, use borderless windows mode or stop doing it

third party software dealing with network
known troublemakers from the past killerlan and certain bloatware from asus called gamefirst

strict nat issue aka blocked ports, depends on your contract, mobile contracts are normaly locked behind cgnats. gamer need special contract or you need to use a vpn service to bypass the issue at the cost of latency, you can find the ports for portforwarding in the sticky faq

other security settings of windows like av, which might kick in the false moment and kills performance through their homebuild anticheat, create exception rules for the game folder or use certain performance mods
real time protection was such trouble maker from windows defender in certain games

check server status of steam and you might want to change download region, if there are regional outtakes
