Lua spy mission and Sorties [DE reply inside]

[(XBOX)Dyalar]

The vast majority of the time, I'm unable to do Lua Spy missions in a group (on Xbox One).  If I'm in a group and we queue for a Lua Spy, I get kicked back to the ship during the loading screen.  If I try to join a group in progress, I get kicked back to the ship during the loading screen.  If I load in solo and invite my friends, THEY get kicked back to the ship during the loading screen.  I'm able to do all of the Spy nodes, so it's not that I can't complete the mission, I just can't do it with anyone else.  We had to temporarily split up our Sortie group last night, with me completing the Spy mission solo and my two friends doing it together.  I don't have any problems with any of the other mission types on Lua, or with any other Spy missions in the starchart.  It's just Lua Spy for some reason.

Tried to do the Lua Spy Sortie mission with friends but refuses to let me load into the mission with them. Works fine with randoms, and we play literally every other mission in the game, but this is the second seperate time it has happened with this sortie mission. 

[(PSN)FayetteSidra]

Same issue here.

[(PSN)Stack77]

Why does the connection for the second sortie fail so often. Same with the moon spy mission. Put those two together and you'll never get a squad of four. There is always talks of new missions. Why can't we get the ones that are already problematic fixed? I'm not the only console user with this issue. PS4 by the way. 

[(PSN)Knightly23]

Same and it every time this mission is on Sortie

So Everytime the Lua spy mission has been on sortie, players have been unable to join each other due to some sort of an error. Please fix this issue already, DE.

[(PSN)jonasforste]

Anything to make the Sorties more fun and less pain in the &#!.

Can't enter the sortie spy mission in lua with squad. It just disconects me and i cant join back to the game.

PLZ HALP.

[(PSN)SeekerLoki]

This happened the last time the Lua spy mission was part of the sortie.  Someone suggested setting your ping limit to unlimited, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.  If you can try it, please post if it worked for you or not.  Just to tie some of these threads together:

it worked thanks guys.

[(PSN)cywar]

For some reason, I keep getting disconnected from host during sortie on lua. All others quests and missions, I'm able to do without any issues

[(PSN)SeekerLoki]

The Lua spy has a bug that drops a lot of players while loading in.  Try setting your ping limit to unlimited.  It seems to work for a few people.

 

[(PSN)ShockwaveXYZ]

what he said. I can't help my friends that have no idea how to do this

[(PSN)DARTHFETT77]

hi i like to ask if lua spy mission have problems? asking because try to play with friends and only allow one player to play 

[Moysa]

I'm guessing english isn't your first language?

If I understood this correctly, you are trying to play with a friend and for some reason can't. Make sure in menu it's set to something other than "solo".

Post in your natural language if I got it wrong, and we can use google translate to try to figure it out.

Consoles have a bug that causes many players to fail to load into the lau spy mission.  You can work around this by setting your max ping to unlimited,

It's under options and game play.  Change Matchmaking Ping Limit to unlimited.  You might want to change it back later, as this could allow for you to be matched with really bad hosts.

[(PSN)PunchemNdaface]

Im having the same problem. It starts up loading with the ships flying.  Then takes a little longer than usual just to say lost connection with the host. PLZ HELP

Agreed, please remove until fixed.

[(PSN)Knightly23]

Agreed, please remove until fixed.

[Chakravikari]

The connection doesn't fail, the host is trying to abandon you guys as soon as anything goes awry.
