I get the thing above when trying to rejoin a prospect that is hosted by a friend. If I leave it there, it says "Failed to find Unreal session". This thing is beyond confusing. I can join the prospect initially just fine, but if I close the game then I cannot get back in.

We are a group of 3, and I can't join when either of my friends is hosting. They can join each other just fine. And they can both join if I'm hosting.

Anyone else with this issue? Any ideas?

Have found this a few times!

  1. Use the “remove character from prospect” button in the character screen.

  2. Try rejoin the prospect, such as right clicking on your friend who is hosting on steam and clicking “join game”

So far those experiencing the 008 issue you described this has solved it, and they kept all their equipment and progress!

Please let me know how you get on

Thanks. Will keep this in mind too.
However, we found a permanent solution! Just needed to make sure that everyone had the same steam download region.

I switched my download region to that of my friends and now I can join just fine.

Thats really weird - but thank you for replying. THat gives us something to test for!
