Make it so players can reconnect after disconnecting in a Private Game at the White Dream Section.

Feels Super Bad, after 3+ hour run, when both of my friends disconnect right before the final boss in the white dream (section where you are about to knock on the Cabin door) and no one can reconnect because it's past the point of players joining. "Joining" and "reconnecting" are not exactly the same thing, and should be handle differently. Especially in a private lobby, since they got zero exp for their 3+ hours of play.

This should be change asap, to prevent unnecessary frustration for future players. Players should be able to reconnect at any point in the game, until the entire game is finished, especially true in a private game. I understand in public game, you don't want a new player to join right before the final boss, but in a private lobby, players who played for many hours already should be able to reconnect during the white dream or at any other point of the game.

Thank you for reading, I hope this issue is fixed in the future.

This also happened to me… I lost hours of experience while trying to level a character. Feels bad. There was no warning or anything either.

Happened to me after a 2 hour run the final boss was on the final phase and was 10 seconds from dying and host DC.
Host tried rehosting, and it said session ended.
Host said sometimes reconnect works, sometimes it doesn't.

1.0.5 Patch notes for tomorrow said: Fixed crashes that could corrupt save files.
I really hope that means Host can re-host and resume a crashed or DC game.

This happened to us several times now. One party member consistently crashed during the white cut scene before the White Dream boss. On top of not being able to rejoin/continue, that member lost all unlocks and currency collected during that run
