We’re looking in to this. Thank you for your report!

Hi, I am receiving the same error message but at different stage. I was playing a map (sorry dont know the name) and it happened twice on the same map, different game, at the end of the level, just few minutes from boarding the escape ship. The game just kicked me out of the session with the same message “Disconnected from Server: nonexisting_channel”.
I could rejoin the game and was able to finish it though.

I also have a thread with this same bug.

Same error, happened to me multiple times but random. Mostly at the end of the mission or the middle of the mission. Just now it happened to me right before i set foot on the transport ship. When i queue with my friends they can wait for me to reconnect. but with random player they just finish the mission, its kinda frustrating. finished all the objective and right before you can leave, you disconncet.

Heres the log:

Issue Description:
I’ve seen a few other posters talk about Nonexisting_Channel errors preventing them from connecting, but my issue is slightly different. Very predictably and reproducibly, as soon as the extract objective opens up at the end of a mission, I am bounced back to the character select screen with a “nonexisting_channel” error. I can reconnect, but the game will be very unstable and I am very likely to be dropped again with the same error. This can create a loop where I keep rejoining and keep crashing, and this also makes my team unable to complete the mission.

Steps to Reproduce:
[Please add the steps that can help our QA department in reproducing the issue. For example:]

1.Play any mission.
2.Reach the end of the mission until the final objective opens.

Looking in to this! Thank you for the information.

Further evidence. Today it happened around 8:20pm local. Upon rejoining, I actually managed to kick out my entire team. They were able to rejoin and we did successfully finish the mission.

I have no idea what setting I have enabled or what is different about my configuration that would cause other people to drop.

Log attached.

Another one, at 9:07 pm. We also spectacularly lost the mission but it is unrelated to the bug.
