Issue Description:
I am getting disconnected very frequently since the patched dropped. In game players and enemies freeze, and I get the flashing “lost contact with host, trying to reconnect” or something along those lines. This very rarely happened to me before, now its close to every game.
I don’t know if it’s something on my end or not, is there any way to determine that? The game isn’t crashing, are network issues something that get thrown into a log? A few times I was given the option to migrate to a different player as host and met them back in the lobby, so I assume that means that everyone in those matches was DC’d.
Off the bat, I recommend ensuring your Steam Download Region is set to a nearby location:
Open the Steam client
Select ‘Steam’ in the upper left-hand corner
Select ‘Settings’
Select ‘Downloads’ within the sidebar
Set your ‘Download Region’ to an appropriate nearby location and save the changes
Also, please try enabling ‘Smart Network Packets’. You can enable this within Vermintide 2’s ‘Network’ panel. Please be aware this option cannot be used in combination with the Player List Plus mod.
Thanks for the help! I saw a note in the most recent hotfix that addressed some host crash issues. I’ve played a few matches today (not as host) and had no issues, so I’m thinking that was it.
