#Multiplayer guest character stuck in Party Management. Unable to connect back due to that.

Reproduction Steps:
Started the day. Both players went into the Recycling Center to gacha trash for shed items. Host started Gacha. Rolled 2x5 items. Guest stayed next but did not use any items or menus. Right after, host closed server to re-open. Guest got "Unstable connection" error when connecting. Narrowed down the issue to the guest still being "connected" to the server according to Party Management, but not shown in the party on the right side or not found anywhere else in the server. Guest's house room is enterable (although host's room is used for sleeping etc). Have tried sleeping, restarting steam, computers, nothing works.

A way to fix this would probably be a way for the host to kick out people from the Party Management. Guest gets the "item get" ding song after connecting error message. Seems like the game thinks the account is still connected. Connection is fine otherwise and only a few minor crashes due to bugs.

Also, even if host sleeps alone in the main bedroom on the farm, she wakes up underwater for some reason.

Repro Rate: Does not seem to be 100% as we did the close and reopen multiple times before.
In-Game Date & Time: Went to recycling center right after waking up in a new day in Winter day 17. Year 2.
Players & Platform: 2. My wife Nish was the host. I joined as guest. Both PC
Game Version: 1.2-1240
Input Mode: Keyboard & Mouse
PC Specs: Alienware M15 R2 (host), Legion Pro 7 16IRX9H (guest). Both gaming laptops and windows 11.
Attachments (if available): Added screenshot of stuck character
Image or video of the issue: Screenshot
Host save file - I believe I added the correct save file from her account

Hello @river ridge,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I'm sorry to hear about the problem.

#

By any chance, do you happen to have any videos showing the issue?

Also, could you share the Backup folder from Host as well? It's located in similar place as the DailySave file. You can compress it to a .zip file and attach it here. Thank you! 🙌

This was how it looked on my wife's side. However, it seems when we the host changed the guest's name in Party Management it seemed to fix it. We renamed from Chester to Chesternal and now I could get into her game. However, later save backups from 10-09 should still be bugged with the old name.

#

Also it seems that at the time of recording she woke up in the correct house. This was after name change. Before the name change she woke up in the underwater base. So the latest save file should be fixed but the earlier ones like 10-09 should be still bugged as there we haven't changed the guest's name yet

#

Which means I couldn't get the recording from the guest's side sadly. But I can explain a bit. She opened server, saw me in the Party Management list as Chester. I saw her server in the list, joined it. It said "connecting" a while for a bout 1 minute. Then it threw the "You have an unstable connection. Please try again later." and when I clicked ok on the error it played the sound you usually get when you get an item like the stamina fruit etc where the character raises his/her hand. And then I would be back in the main menu. So it would seem it wouldn't let me connect if I was named the same but when Host changed my name from Chester to Chesternal in the Party Management, this time it let me connect.

Yep, can join normally now and sleeping works fine as well and she wakes up in the ground farm. We changed two things before the fix. Turned off cross-play setting even though we were both on PC anyway, and changed the name in party Management. Can not be sure which fixed it in the end but seems to have worked. When I join now I get the name Chesternal instead of the previous Chester which was stuck.
