Can not connect to friends’ instance since patch f [PS5]

Hello,

Have not been able to join 2 of my friends’ instances since the patch (both PS5). I can join other friends on ps5 and PC just fine.


The friend can join me but as soon as I give leader and he opens a map, upon entering his map I am disconnected with “Unexpected Disconnection” message.

Have had friend remove all cosmetics and meet in neutral area with no microtransaction items. Gateway was changed multiple times to test. No success.

Friend can join me without issue and join my instances but would like to run on his maps etc.

Is party connection on PS5 still a known issue? I looked for other reports and was not finding a similar case.

I am hardwired into the wall, NAT 2, 742.1Mbps down, 22.9Mbps up.

Thank you!
