Description: Seven of us play Humankind every Monday night. Tonight we have been unable to play because of multiplayer disconnects which must be related to the most recent 5th October patch (we didn't face the issue before, and all players were facing the same issues): the first time we loaded the game, we all successfully joined the lobby and started the game but it crashed to Menu screen with the error "Connection Lost" for me as the host (after about 10-15 seconds of the game running).

I tried to load again, but halfway through people joining the lobby, the same error occurred (before we even loaded the game).

I tried to load again and couldn't see my player in the lobby- I could click Join on all player slots (including the player "0" slot where I should have been) but nothing happened.

Others also tried to host, we also tried starting an entirely new game (not loading from save), with the same failures- either Connection dropped from the lobby or in-game.
