What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

Hi there, I'm having an issue with Netplay sessions randomly ending. We're all using 5.10.21088

We were playing Dokapon Kingdom for a few hours very fine until suddenly, one of our players had "left" the game which caused the entire game to close for everyone, losing all of our progress (we were still talking in discord so I'm pretty sure his internet was not cut or something). Notably, the netplay session was still active, but simply without the player who left (who simply rejoined after). After mulling over our lost progress for a bit, we tried playing the game again and after about another hour or so, the session had ended in the exact same way, with the same person who had left the game before, leaving the game. We know he didn't have an internet issue, because he was talking almost immediately after the crash.

I don't think it's specs related on anyone's end either, and when we meet up again, I want to know if there any preventative measures, or a fix to avoid the game crashing if someone leaves. I found a Fix here, but it is 10 years old and the "solution" no longer works. This link on the forum here describes my exact scenario: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/6511

Attached in the files is the visual aid for what happened, and when it happened

Thanks!

Issue 6511 was about Dolphin crashing when a player exited netplay, and the fix was to make Dolphin exit netplay instead of crashing. So the behavior you're seeing here does match the "fixed" behavior.

Making Dolphin support disconnecting controllers during netplay (and connecting controllers during netplay too, for that matter) would be desirable, but it's a feature that's a lot of work to implement.
