Reconnect feature

  • Especially for the arena, why is there no ability to re-connect to the same game in progress if your game crashes or you're disconnected for w/e reason? This seems like the most basic thing... My game crashed during an arena match, and while you could probably debate how useful I actually was it being my first time doing it, it sucks for the team that they're down a player and it sucks for me not being able to rejoin them.

    ???? Why is reconnecting not a thing?

    Rejoin Your Game Session – When disconnected from the game due to a sudden exit, game crash or network issue, players are now offered the chance to rejoin their game session once they return to the main menu. Game sessions are now kept alive for a short period of time after the last crew member disconnects, providing a 10-minute window to return to the session without losing progress.

    How exactly do you do it then? It doesn't do it automatically and I can find no option to do so.

    Did not happen. I reloaded the game immediately and was given no such opportunity. I don't know how long ago this was, but literally every time I'm disconnected or crash, whatever I was doing is always just gone. I've lost several voyages to crashes or disconnects, and I was unable to rejoin the arena after a crash despite re-launching the game immediately.

  • @tahngarthor Sorry to hear that, I personally never used it since I play with friends and rejoin through them so unfortunately I can't say exactly how it works. All I remembered is that it was a feature that was supposed to be added.

  • @tahngarthor

    If your game crashes you will get the choice to re-join when you open up the game again or if you had issues joining the server and got an error while in the loading screen.

  • @itz-majman In theory. But it didn't happen for me. had a CTD, no oppertunity given to rejoin when i loaded up the game again immediately.

  • @tahngarthor click their name in the xbox app, or menu and click join game. lol when you play with your friends do you literally all start together. damn bro thats some dedicated crewmanship. logging on at the same time, and starting an adventure together ROFL.
