Host migration leaves players in different session states
During an online multiplayer race, the lobby host’s game closed unexpectedly shortly after the start of the race. The lobby host left the session before the other affected players. In the clips, the race is on lap 1 when the “Host Migration” message appears. Shortly afterwards, a message appears indicating that a player has left the session. Following the host migration, the session appears to become unstable. The clips show the same incident from multiple player perspectives. Several players are taken away from the active race and shown a black “Please wait…” screen, while at least one other player is still able to continue driving on track. From the perspective of the player who remains in the race, several drivers or session entries appear to be dropped or desynced following the host migration, causing significant changes to the running order. A Safety Car is also shown shortly afterwards. The host migration therefore does not appear to complete consistently for all players in the session. Different participants appear to end up in different session states after the original lobby host leaves. In other occurrences of the same issue, the screen has turned black immediately after the lobby host’s game closed. This set of clips shows both the host migration and the inconsistent session behaviour that follows.
