After the update R8, we are thrown into the lobby from the game server during the scan, level R4E1. Thank you in advance.

It seems like someone (host) dropped out of the game perhaps, as a host migration message? may have appeared in the bottom right hand corner. Did host leave?

#

Because if so, host migration is not reliable

#

Have someone else host who won't leave/crash

My friends and I have been trying to finish R4E1, but are unable to due to a host disconnect. I thought it was a one time thing but it's happened in all our 4 attempts now, 2 of which happened in roughly the same area; the host just gets kicked.
We tried switching up hosts to make sure it's not a problem of someone's internet connection, but it happened no matter who hosted.
It doesn't have to do anything with Steam: it still shows everyone playing normally, there's no notification of anyone (re-)starting the game. No profile goes offline. The disconnect happens just in-game.
Rejoining the game isn't possible; the host gets kicked and the remaining players, if they haven't been kicked already, are left in a, for the most part, unresponsive game. Players can interact with each other still (shoot each other, use packs etc.), but the enemies are unresponsive and nobody is capable of rejoining the game, since they get stuck in an infinite drop animations or some players were kicked before a host during the game and they can’t go back.

#

The distinguishing sign that something is going wrong is that the opportunity to reconnect to the lobby during the match disappears. If you are randomly thrown out of the game during the match, then you cannot go back in. This was also noticed with other players in other lobbies, usually when, for example, three started, it was possible to get an id and connect during the match, but we ran into the problem that we could not join (the id was relevant, we are not so stupid). Also, when trying to create a lobby on other levels, we received either instant disconnection or after a while

#

You can think as much as you like that this is a problem of the host or the players inside, but it's wrong. Because before the r8 update, this had never been seen before

today, the host was changed, the 1st was thrown out almost at the end of the game, while there is no way to return to the lobby and the bots don't show up

#

a day ago, I was thrown out in the same place without being able to return to the lobby, the host was different.

same thing happen to me and 2 other in R1D1 when where about to do the final phase the host got disconnected, me and the other guy can still see each other moving but the host is not and the enemies just freezes. We tried to rejoin but we can no longer find the lobby.

and its so tedious to do it all over again because we're over 2hrs in-game doing that level.

If bots aren't showing up, then very probably the connection to steam got fucked up. Usually this is a steam issue, and you can notice it by the bots not being there and/or by the inability to get a lobbyid.
