Host migration and restarting wave

Whenever the host leaves a lobby I'm in, I'm supposedly meant to be migrated to a new host. In practice, I get thrown back to the multiplayer main menu.

In-game, if the host leaves, the wave is supposed to restart. Instead, I get sent back to the multiplayer main menu.

Is this typical for everyone, or does that sound like a problem?

    I'm on PC.

    When the host leaves, 95% of the time I find myself as a new host with 0-2 of the other players joining the restarted wave.  (There have been a number of times where the host leaves, and then the group of 4 turns into a solo match for me, usually I'll get all the other players though).

    4% of the time I end up joining another host.

    1% of the time I'll get your experience where I get kicked to the multiplayer menu.

    Sounds like you are experiencing an unusual issue.

    I'm guessing it determines that somebody else should be the host, but you end up having trouble communicating with their PC so it boots you to the Main Menu.  Traditionally, firewall settings were causes of peer-to-peer connection issues.  I have no idea what the source of your issues are.

    That was my thought too, but it happens every single time. I find it hard to believe that I have connection issues with each and every one of those replacement hosts.

    Also, I've seen this happen on two different internet connections.

    The problem has randomly stopped occurring.
