Some other bugs don’t have a code name and can happen after important updates or server issues. For example, the “Party not ready” bug can be fixed simply by restarting the game or creating a lobby initiated by another player.

The “Party Leader Quit” issue can be fixed by taking back the lead of the party. Lastly, the PC bug “Out of Sync with server” can be fixed by changing the settings of the game. In the Video tab, set “Texture Streaming Budget” to “None.” This will reduce the resolution of the game. If it’s not enough, other video options can be lowered.
