Three problems make up most of the messages admins receive. For each one this page says what is going on, what you can do yourself, and what to send an admin so it is fixed quickly. Checked against the live system on 12/10/2026.
Host connection timeout
What it is
An ASA bug in the game's own server code. After an ungraceful disconnect the map keeps a broken copy of your character in its memory; every rejoin attaches to that copy and drops a few seconds after joining, with the same message each time. Other players join the same map normally, and your saved character is fine.
What does not help
Restarting the game, restarting your router, verifying game files or changing your connection. The problem sits on the map, not on your side.
What fixes it
A restart of that one map. Tell an admin the map and the time — Contact admin in your profile menu opens a chat — and the map is restarted at the next quiet moment. Right after the restart your character joins normally.
