Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Set up multiplayer lobby with at least qualifying and race session 2a. Occasionally the disconnect will happen between qualifying and race sessions, and error 'not enough players for this session' 2b. Start a race - in most cases, host disconnection occurs within 2 laps of the race start
What happens when the bug occurs? Disconnected host sees all other drivers disconnect from the session, replaced by AI. All other drivers either: - Blank screen and unable to continue - See '*host name* has left the session' message and the lobby will migrate to a new host. Disconnected host is able to rejoin the session in the case of a standard multiplayer lobby.
What do you expect to see? Stable multiplayer lobby connections, regardless of platform, or combination of platforms
This occurred twice (possibly a third I can't confirm) during our league race last night. League race hosted in standard private multiplayer lobby due to recent changes to RaceNet leagues.
In both cases, the disconnect while I was hosting occurred during lap 2 of the race.

2nd race - https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxbQY2eCr6_8GsxHOqnITZlvzk74jbNwMF
Between both sessions, a new multiplayer lobby was created. Drivers are primarily Steam users, with 2 Xbox, 1 Playstation and 3 EA app users.
After the second disconnect above, I was able to rejoin the lobby via Steam's 'Join game' in friends list and retake my car, but a few laps later the new host also disconnected and he was unable to rejoin and take control.
Symmetrical gigabit internet connection, and no connection/quality issues in any other applications
