• Multiplayer sessions are becoming unplayable for many PEAK players due to a game-breaking rejoin bug. Disconnections now frequently result in permanent softlocks, requiring full game restarts.
• The issue intensifies existing frustrations with PEAK’s return mechanics. Previously, rejoining players were marked as “dead,” but the new bug completely immobilizes characters while leaving audio and team progress visible.

“The UI just freezes,” one player shared in a report to the devs. “I can hear the game world and my friends, I even see their achievements pop, but I can’t move or press Esc. It’s like I’m watching the game from behind glass.”

• Community reports describe two main scenarios:
  • Players respawn in the Terminal with no reentry options
  • Characters appear in an empty void with frozen controls

“Even using a statue doesn’t bring them back,” one frustrated player posted. “Their character shows as rejoined, but nothing works. We had to quit the entire run.”

• Developers have acknowledged the bug but haven’t provided a timeline for fixes. This creates problems for a game structured around coordinated group play, where lost progress can undo hours of teamwork.
• Players are advised to avoid relying on rejoin features entirely. For now, restarting sessions appears safer than risking permanent lockouts during critical moments.

Until PEAK releases a patch, disconnections could derail entire expeditions. The current workaround? Hope your internet doesn’t drop—and maybe stock up on patience.
