Hi, it’s me again.
Issue is still happening, but this time it’s saying Error Code: 2003, though it looks to be exactly the same problem.
Here’s the console log for the last game:

It feels like it’s even worse after 1.0.7 patch. Today I’m getting disconnects by the end of every single mission except assassination (for some reason it’s the only one that’s fine).
They always happen at the moment when all objectives except “leave” are done. Quite some players are affected, I’ve seen other players dropping in nearly the same moment as me.

Crash Report (If Applicable):
Error 2001. No crash.

Steps to Reproduce:
Play any mission type except assassination to the point where you need to run to the exit zone.

Have tried to join three missions now since whatever update was released today, have been DCed from the server every time at loading screen. Error is 2003.

Crash report: i’m getting errors: 2001 and 4001.
game just sent our team back with mission aborted. towards the end of the mission everybody was flying, running on spot and shuddering.

The error 2001 is constant, once per mission.

You can reconnect but lose any grim or grenade you have for some reason.

For mysterious reasons, it often happens towards the end of the mission, and potentially the whole team gets booted of the server before reconnecting.

  1. sorry about the format I couldn’t find the report template.
  2. this sometimes doesn’t happen late at night, maybe because there is less internet strain(tho my internet can run online games well).
  3. This mostly happens with missions but has happened with the lobby.

p.s. again sorry about the formatting

Game either hard crashes to desktop or kicks me out (can reconnect) every single match - this happens to both me and my friend but i find a disturbing lack of acknowledgement for this issue and if the number of people i see randomly being replaced by bots and coming back after a few minutes indicative of anything we are not the only ones to experience this.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Literally play any mission
  2. Game either hard crashes or kicks us out at a random point during gameplay at least once every single time → reconnect.

Issue Description:
So when you use ogryn charge into id say around 50 - 75 mobs it has a common to often chance of it crashing the server entirely. and not beeing able to rejoin. crash error code 2001. Feelsbad because we feel like we cant use the ability without fearing a crash.

Steps to Reproduce:
put around 75 mobs in the orgryn’s charge directory and thats how you will recreate it.

Ever since todays patch ive had absolutely no crashes and no error 2001.

Issue Description:
I log into the game fine, can move and run the lobby fine. I can reach game pre-lobby (or whatever they’re called, the “ready” screen), and then load in fine. Then, I see roughly 2 seconds of gameplay before the game kicks me back to the main title screen.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Click play on any map
  2. Ready up
  3. Load into game.
