Summary: I was able to play a multiplayer game with my friend but was randomly disconnected from the game and am unable to rejoin. After losing connection to the server suddenly I restarted my game and attempted to rejoin the multiplayer session via Steam invite. The game began to load and produced an error log on the Creating Character step. I let it run for 5 to 10 mins, still unable to join. Closed my game, verified files, no errors, tried to join, same result. My friend who was host the game (and whose game has continued to work fine) restarted his game and verified his game files, I was still unable to join the game, stuck at the same point.
