Safe lobby checklist
- Confirm every player has the latest game update.
- Confirm each player is on an officially supported platform.
- Recreate the lobby after an update or failed invite.
- Test a private friend invite separately from public matchmaking.
- Record host platform, region, mission, difficulty and exact error.
Join-in-progress, reconnect and host departure
Patch 1 confirms that joining an in-progress match existed in at least one fixed item-grant defect. It does not publish a complete reconnect or host-migration specification. A Reddit commenter reports rollback after a host leaves; keep that as an individual report until broader retail evidence or official documentation confirms the behavior.
Cross-platform setup
The official site confirms four-player co-op and cross-platform voice chat. Use the current in-game Social interface, but this page does not invent button names or invite steps not documented by an official current guide. See Crossplay Guide.
Not a live server dashboard
This page does not claim that servers are currently up or down. Check official channels and platform status when the error is time-sensitive.
