Unreal 4.7.0 Preview 7 - Steam We have a bare bones test case project derrived from the First Person Sample, and uses blueprints to Host and Join. We have a simple level with two buttons, Host and Join. Host appears to work. You click Host and create a session and then go to the game map. The client clicks Join and the FindSession works great, then we JoinSession on the first session found. (Very Verbose logging turned on) In the log we see the lobby join just fine, and then the client appears to get direct to join the in-progress game, but is told to Travel to the incorrect map. ``` [2015.02.12-22.32.06:296][120]LogOnline: Join session: traveling to steam.76561198108265628:7777 [2015.02.12-22.32.06:296][120]LogBlueprintUserMessages: joined ok [2015.02.12-22.32.06:296][120]LogNet: Browse: steam.76561198108265628//Game/FirstPersonBP/Maps/Entry [2015.02.12-22.32.06:297][120]LogNet:Display: SteamNetDriver_0 bound to port 7777 [2015.02.12-22.32.06:298][120]LogNet: Game client on port 7777, rate 10000 ``` Notice that the map is **Entry** intead of the expected map **FirstPersonExampleMap**. So the client joins but gets stuck in our Entry map.

I am having this problem, but the listen keyword is indeed in my openLevel node. My client is opening to the mainmenu instead of the level in progress Edit: Solved: The problem was I was using the client window to host the game, not the server window. I discovered that this is a bug in play-in-editor and i was able to join the game properly. ---

Same problem, but with built versions. Computer 1 with Steam account 1: Session created OK, player is on the map waiting for second player to join. Computer 2 with Steam account 2: Search sessions OK, joins OK but is stuck on mainmenu. Open level has listen but the second player won’t load that map for some reason. ---

Bump! I started experiencing this a couple days ago and now I’m pulling my hair out. Was a solution to this ever found? I can find plenty of similar threads but none that detail what was done to fix in those instances. Except for the ones where _?listen_ was missing, which is _not_ my case as my log entry shows; ```auto [81]LogGameMode: ProcessServerTravel: /Game/Maps/Lobby?listen ``` ---

bumb? ☹ the logs show the client is joining the session but it loads the level I use for the main menu while the server is on the correct map.
