Please post if you have "lost connection to host"

[Shootist187]

I have a paid for private server for me and my friends which normally runs well but for the last few days we are having problems "Lost connection to host"
I have contacted the server provider who have run tests and see nothing wrong on there end, they provide a good steady service with no previous problems so I believe its not them.
I would just like to know if others are having this problem, If I restart the server it seems to work for a short while.

I have.

I have but it irregular and once it happens I have to exit and restart Outlaws to get in again.

This is a very common bug. It has been in the game since release.
Prefabs are sooo much more important though....According to the Dev's.

I had this on every server I tried to log into on Saturday. I closed Outlaws, verified cache in Steam and started game up again with no problem. To me, it's not tied to a specific server.

I would like to ask a question. Who is your Host?

If one person is getting that error and you do not have to restart the server. The problem is at the client side. Means somewhere from that PC to the host someone lost net for even just a sec.

If you all get the message and you have to reboot the server. The server actually crashed and it might not be dumping the memory properly. Which will make a server crash and a restart will clear up any memory issues. That is why when the host looked at the server, it appeared to be running fine. On my server we have been having this a lot. I do not blame the game at all. But the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass cheap host. When my month runs out. I am jumping to a better server host. It is not dumping the memory and it is causing a lot of issues with the server. (Sometimes it does not pay to go with a cheap service)

@River Tam; Could be your host, don't know them. But considering its happening to people all over the world with different server providers I think that this game needs extra attention than the average game. Considering there is performance and processing issues in SP, using the game companies servers, then either they are doing a shabby job, or its the game.

Its in your Server Provider's business interest to maintain your server with good quality.
They don't have much else to work on, connectivity and customer service is their business.
You may get a better service from a more expensive server provider, but I guarantee you will still get times when people will be randomly disconnected from the game, 'Lost Connection to the host'.

This has been an issue since week 3 (When i started playing the game).

River my provider is Nitrado, they seem very good and ive not had problems running other games on it.

[Shootist187]

Nitrado have done a test to the server and can find no problems.
"We have checked your server and all seems to be ok. We even ran a login test and was successful. We would appreciate if you can ask your friends if the issue persists and if they can take a screenshot or mention the exact error they are having"

Have had this issue of fatal error trying to log in sporaticley . Now with this new update I validated files with steam and tried 6 times to log in and each time was a fatal error. so...

[Skakk]

@Margo are you trying to log into Single Player, Multiplayer or your own server?
Seems to be issues with SP again.
Also MP public servers have been wiped, so you may need to delete the .ini file to solve issues with SP and MP.
If its a MP private server try and contact the admin through Steam or Discord to see if they are having issues or if its just you.

Regarding validating, that is a good 1st step to take, but I believe the .ini file is in your app data folder, so stays on your pc even after deleting the game from steam library.
There is more info on deleting the .ini file in the discussions.
Does anyone here have experience with deleting the .ini file?
You can let Margo know the exact file, or anyone else with the same issue.

we also have a nitrado server running - and only 1 of 6 Players had this error so far. I guess its not the provider or the game server. Its more the isp or the local security software. This game produces a constant traffic-stream in mp - maybe a short break (because of package-checks by the firewall or just a instable route) is causing the disconnect.
