No More Room in Hell 2 Lost Connection to Host — How to Fix
Update to 1.0.4.0, check for a live service incident, then create one fresh session. If only one player disconnects, remove VPN or proxy routing, restart that player's network equipment and test a direct stable connection before changing ports or reinstalling.

Direct answer
- Hotfix 1.0.4.0 fixed incorrect regional server routing and improved Responder protection for qualifying disconnects.
- A Reconnect option is documented for crashes during map load; it is not a universal recovery path for every disconnect.
- The error wording does not prove the game is using a player-hosted peer-to-peer session.
Use the disconnect pattern as evidence
| What you see | What it narrows down | Next check |
|---|---|---|
| Every squad member disconnects together | A live session or service problem is more plausible than one local device. | Record the time and region, then check official incident reports. |
| Only one player repeatedly disconnects | The failure follows that account, platform client or network route. | Remove VPN or proxy routing, restart that device and run one direct-connection test. |
| The game crashed during map load | This is the documented case where Reconnect may be offered. | Reopen the game and use Reconnect if the session presents it. |
| Disconnect occurred but the Responder survived | The disconnect-forgiveness path applied to that case. | Do not assume the same protection applies to every disconnect; 1.0.4.0 fixed only qualifying cases. |
Before you start
Record the platform, displayed 1.0.4.0 build, region, party size, squad leader, disconnect timing and exact message. Note whether the whole squad drops or only one player loses the session.
Fix 1: Update and classify the disconnect
The first split is whether every player is removed, one player drops repeatedly, or the game crashes during map load.
- Close the game on every platform, install the current patch and restart each client.
- If the game crashed during map load, reopen it and use the documented Reconnect option when offered.
- If the Lost Connection to Host message appears during a live session, continue with the service and network checks below.
Fix 2: Check server status and regional routing
The 1.0.4.0 patch fixed cases where players, including some in continental Asia, were routed to the wrong nearby servers.
- Check the official news and Discord for an active outage, maintenance window or region-specific report.
- Return to the main menu, wait 15–30 minutes during an incident, then create one new session.
- If every squad member disconnects together, preserve the time and region for the support report rather than repeatedly changing one player's device.

Fix 3: Rebuild the party and change the squad leader
A clean session helps separate stale party state from a repeatable account or connection issue.
- Disband the party completely and return every player to the main menu.
- Choose a different squad leader, send fresh invites and test one match.
- If possible, compare a same-platform two-player session with the failing cross-platform combination.
Fix 4: Test the affected player's local connection
Use reversible connection checks only when the failure follows one player rather than the whole squad.
- Disable VPN, proxy or network-level traffic routing for one test; an official 0.9 known issue specifically linked VPN use with squad-invite kicks.
- Restart the modem or router and the affected PC or console.
- Use Ethernet or a stronger Wi-Fi connection, then run the platform's network test and retry one fresh session.
Fix 5: Avoid unsupported NAT and port guesses
No current official NMRIH2 source in this guide publishes a required port list or says squad management uses peer-to-peer hosting.
- Do not open ports solely because the message contains the word host.
- If the platform network test reports a NAT restriction, follow that platform's current support instructions or the game's support response for the exact account and network.
If it does not work
If the disconnect repeats, submit the platform mix, patch, region, session time, squad leader, who disconnected, network type and screenshot through the in-game report path, official Discord, or nmrih2.com/support.
Evidence boundary
Official sources confirm regional server-routing, disconnect-protection, server-stability and map-load reconnect changes. The local network steps are low-risk isolation checks; they are not a claim that every Lost Connection to Host error is caused by the player's router.
