Host Migration After Every Mission with Squad

Hi everyone. We've merged some recent threads about these freezes/host migrations. We have spent quite a bit of time trying to reproduce this internally but have not yet found the culprit. With that said, we're hoping there might be some additional information that could point us in the right direction. Many posts in this thread have done a great job narrowing this down, but we could use some more help. 

For example.

1. Does this only occur when Cross Platform Play is enabled? (this can be toggled in Warframe Settings -> System)

• If it does, can you identify any of the platform(s) in your squad? Can you identify the platform that connected before the freeze/host migration occurred?
  • (for example: Does having a cross platform player connect during the mission increase the chances of these freezes occurring?)

2. Does lowering your Matchmaking Ping Limit decrease the chances of encountering these freezes? (this can also be changed in Warframe Settings -> System)

• If you lower your Ping Limit to 100, do your missions seem more stable?

3. Could this be tied to an item in your (or someone else's) inventory? 

• For example, is anyone in your squad using a Specter when you experience these freezes/host migrations?

4. Can you force these freezes/host migrations to occur with your squad? Do they only happen when a player you don't know joins via. matchmaking?

• For example, if a client in your squad leaves and rejoins the mission, will it trigger a freeze/host migration for anyone?

5. If you install the PS4 version of Warframe on your PS5, do you still experience this issue? Is this specific to the PS5 version of the game?


We understand that this has been very frustrating, and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. The above questions are just a few potential leads that we are investigating, but if there is anything else anyone can think of that could help us narrow down this issue even more, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

We're still having trouble reproducing these freezes internally, but we've discovered a potential solution through our support tickets that has us wondering if this might be a network issue. To help us narrow this down some more, we could use some additional information:

Would you happen to be connecting to an IPv6 network? Can you try switching to IPv4 and see if this improves your performance in Warframe?

To do this on your PC:

• Open Settings
• Click on Network & internet
• Click the Advanced Network Settings option
• Under the Related Settings section, click the More Network Adapter Options setting
• Right-click the network adapter and choose the Properties option
• Clear the Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) option
• Click the OK button

PS5 supports IPv6 connections but not IPv6-only, so we'd like to know if switching to IPv4-only stops these 10-20sec freezes.

Also, If you notice an improvement, please share your modem/router in this thread.
Even if you've already been using IPv4, knowing which modem/router people have could still be helpful.

We hope to use the above information to help us find a pattern that we can investigate further.

Thanks!
