### Summary

Anytime I go to play the Havoc Hotel 3 (Roguelike) it lags and stalls on “preparing at 100%” and then freezes, it then freezes for a minute or two before giving the “Content Beacon Error”. I’m playing on PC, I have checked my files and verified them about three times, restarted my internet as well as computer. My internet is fine, I do not have a ethernet cable to connect to and only have wireless wifi connection. Every other game mode if working just fine, this is the only one that won’t load for me.

Hi, I can’t get my logs nor is there anything that tells me how to do it on console and I can’t DM you it’s not popping up. I’m having the same issue and now when I even search Hotel Havoc none of them are popping up. I could play 1 & 2 but not anymore.

I can play Havoc Hotel, Havoc Hotel 2, and Havoc Hotel 4. I have put all my time into Havoc Hotel 3 but haven’t been able to find Havoc Hotel 3 anywhere for at least 24hrs. I’ve even used the island code to search and nothing.

This could be an issue with how verse is being referenced with another verse file, because I’m having the same problem and i can launch my game smoothly when none of my verse files are being referenced.
