HANDS OVER Private Lobby Disconnects: Logs and Reports

Friends return to the main menu after a match

A Steam player reported that a friend was repeatedly removed from a private lobby when the group chose “back to the lobby” after a game. Their account described four players invited through Steam, with the same friend returning to the main menu each time and no error, freeze or crash. Another player said the issue also occurred in the paid release. These are player reports, not a guarantee that every group will encounter it. Original thread

The developer acknowledged the report and said the team could not reproduce the problem on its side. The cited exchange contains a request for more information, not a confirmed repair.

What ArtDock asks you to record

Prepare one report that answers these questions:

1. How many friends were in the private lobby?
2. Did they join through Steam invitations or a lobby code?
3. Did removal happen in the lobby, while loading, during a match or after it ended?
4. Did the affected player see the main menu, an error, a freeze or a crash?
5. Does it happen every time, and to the same person?
6. What are the players’ regions, devices and connection conditions? Mention Steam Deck use if relevant.

Screenshots, a short recording and logs can help document the exact transition. The developer asks for this information because similar descriptions can hide different failures. Developer questions

The original reporter’s group was in Germany and did not report Steam Deck use or a weak connection. Those are details of that case, not prerequisites for the bug. No router change, reinstall or VPN fix is established by this exchange.

Checked November 14, 2026. For errors before a lobby can open, use launch errors.
