Ongoing Issue With Not Being Able To Stay In A Squad/slow Loading/host Migration Etc.

[IcelusOphite]

This has been an ongoing issue where I have not been able to stay in a squad and get booted as I slowly load in or it does a host migration and leaves me in the mission alone/or as a failure if it is a tower.  There has been numerous posts...I have posted the slow loading issue myself where it takes me forever to load in..or lag...I have to be invited into a mission and wait there for a long time to load and not many people are patient as to want to have to when they are getting blasted at to have to wait for you and if they move out of the area I have loaded into the walls or ceiling then die.  Unlike all your pro players out there who can solo all the missions alone, I cannot sadly as much as I would love to...and there aren't very many people I can actually play your game with...When I started playing the game I had no issues at all...loaded fine...could host missions fine...nothing...now over the past two months I have done more solo missions than I really would care to.  Not to mention you have made the missions harder to solo so Honestly I log in less and less every time...I even stopped spending on here because I see no point in it if I can't enjoy a game...You have added a lot of really nice ideas, but honestly they aren't so great to me if I can't play.  All I ask is can you please fix the issues of being able to play with other people...the loading slow...the host migrating all the time...not being able to connect with certain people at all...the crashing all the time....I know I am not alone in this...I hear it from my clan all the time...I have lost people from my clan because they cannot play the game and they were newer and just gave it up. Please fix the issues at hand before you keep adding to it...maybe for some it's no big deal but there are some of us that cannot sit here all day and would like to actually play when they log in instead of fighting with login .. then fighting to connect with someone .. then being at a certain wave and it host migrates and boom all is lost...it is just so frustrating .. I hope you can understand where I am coming from ...and if I had some wonderful magic wand to fix it for you I would but that is why you are making the game and I just play it :) ...Thank you for your time and I Sincerely Hope you address these problems.

• In your start/globe menu, type in "CMD" and press enter.

In the black box that comes up, type this with no quotes, and press enter. "cd desktop".

Then in the black box, type this with no quotes and press enter. "ping -t content.warframe.com > ping.txt". It won't appear to do anything, just let it sit for a few minutes.

After a few minutes, go back to the black box and press CTRL+C.

Type "exit" with no quotes and press enter to close the black box.

You should have ping.txt on your desktop. Copy it's contents onto a site like this and link us.

Hey, so I've been having the problem where I can't load into other people's missions. My temporary workaround was to lower my max ping allowance to 100 and try and start missions myself while forcing others to join me. But I followed the above instructions and this is what I Got

Hm, all of those got responses and the jitter is acceptable, so it doesn't look like a general connection issue.

 

Try going into Warframe's launcher, click the gear icon in the upper-right, and click the button to optimize the game cache.

[Zedera]

Did that optimization before I even started the game. If anything, the game seemed to run a little slower after I did that.

 

It's not a general connection issue, because I can play with my friends and other people. I just have to be the host. But what happens is, when I load into a game, I get about 30 seconds of freezing before the loading screen goes, then it loads almost instantly and I'm dropped in-game. But in those 30 seconds, my friend, who I was in skype with, had started the game. And when it loads instantly, it sits at full load for about ten seconds before telling me I lost connection to the host and kicks me out. It's literally impossible for me to play in someone else's session. I don't know if it's a case of my computer not recognizing other people's computers as hosts or what. Do I need to change what ports are using or increase my ping acceptance to unlimited?

[Rydian]

You can try changing the port setting one click to the right in the general settings.  Ping limit should only apply to random matches and not invites.

 

Also try having a friend invite you once they're already loaded into the mission and see if that has any changes.

[Zedera]

Already tried the friend invite thing, that was my old fix back when I couldn't start sessions with other people. Changing ports didn't seem to do a thing, not sure what that even does.

 

Edit: Found the solution! It's rather odd. Props to the person who posted it
