Start with evidence
What happened first?
Selected symptomCan’t find session
- Observe
Confirm the host is already loaded into the world and whether the group includes a Mac App Store player.
- Change one thing
Use the host’s current Join Code instead of relying on the friends list.
- Expected result
The current room appears and asks for its required session password.
- If not
Confirm both installs share the first two version segments, then fully exit and reopen once.
- Stop after
Stop after two controlled attempts. Do not invent a crossplay toggle—the official flow does not use one.
Wording matters
Improved is not the same as eliminated.
- 1.4.7Improved host stability, friends-room browsing, and connection warnings.
- 1.4.8Raised voices that were quieter than intended; designed distance limits did not disappear.
- 1.4.9Required session passwords, added better savedata protection, and fixed specific collision and repeated-challenge cases.
- 1.4.10Improved network and voice stability, made dropouts less likely, and fixed a specific disconnected-player case.
Official patch-note summary. Some players may still report symptoms; that does not establish one shared cause or rate.
