Hi everyone, me and a friend have been running new game coop and ever since we started doing serious attempts, we get disconnected on the "crocodile raft" in 3-2. He is hosting as Chris and operates the crank while I ride the raft, and every time we get close to finishing, we get disconnected. Since we are running NG and can't save, it's an instant run killer. This is a known bug on the steam forums and elsewhere. It's about a 50/50 chance that we get through alright. In addition, we are also experiencing disconnections at other "cranks," namely the cranks in the mines in 2-2 (already lost three runs there). Does anyone know if this is related to who is hosting? Is there any way to fix or minimize this problem? We both have good connections and don't experience disconnections anywhere else.
EDIT: We think that it might be that my partner is spinning too fast (he's playing on pad). That would explain why it never occurs when I'm the one cranking.
