What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Matchmaking
Steps to Reproduce
1-Form a party of two players.
2-Queue for public matchmaking on the published island.
3-When the match is found, party members get stuck indefinitely on the loading screen.
4-Workaround: If the party leader transfers the leader role to another member and receives it back, the loading screen issue is bypassed and players can successfully join.
Expected Result
Party members should successfully load into the public match together without getting stuck on an infinite loading screen, and without needing to manipulate party leader roles.
Observed Result
Party members are permanently trapped on the loading screen during public session startup unless the party leader role is manually swapped back and forth between members.
Platform(s)
All platforms (PC / Consoles)

Additional Notes
The issue occurs consistently on public matchmaking for this specific island code. No custom Verse matchmaking scripts are used, pointing to a potential backend party session synchronization bug
