Multiplayer Reconnect Feature

[Knave Skye]

I recently tried playing with a couple of people that I game with regularly and it was not a very positive experience. We had disconnects sometimes as early as in the town and as late as the 4th or 5th area. I would say about 30% of the runs ended to deaths and the other 70% were from disconnects. We tried opening the port.

We tried different hosts. We tried some console command to increase the ping limit (which only seemed to delay how long it took for the person to realize they had disconnected and not actually help maintain connection).

We gave up last night after multiple disconnects occurred back to back while still in the town, seemed pointless to even start a run under those conditions.

So back to my thread title, would you please consider creating a reconnect feature so that it is at least possible to play around this problem? A solution to the problem would also be good, I am open to suggestions if there are other tricks to try.

We all have decent internet and have logged 1,000's of hours over the years playing stuff together. I doubt this is something we can fix on our end.

Since you're asking for a solution, the only one available I'm aware is a mod (so it'd need a modded profile to work and all players using it to play together):

If this feature was to be added to the game, the only problem I see is that people could abuse joining a matches at the end to get titles "instantly". So I guess only dropped players should be able to join later.

Yeah, I found that after I posted but I would like to be able to get achievements and not leave the game open to potential randoms. It is a solution, but not a good one. Thanks though.

As said above, a reconnect feature would be too easy to abuse. its unlucky that you started playing after DLC release, the game was really stable before it, but Devs are working on thoses issue and they will most likely be fixed next patch

Yeah, I played a lot on my own. Only recently tried making it part of our nightly co op routine. But even if it was a timed window to rejoin, 5-10 minutes or only on the same floor you disconnected on, would make a huge difference. But like i said in the OP, fixing the disconnects would also be nice.
