No Option to Manually go Online

Why is there no option to manually connect to an online session like there was in FH4? I’ve been wondering about this since early release.
This is incredibly annoying when disconnected due to inactivity (whether due to messing around at a home/festival or coming back with quick resume) as the only way to reconnect is to close the game and reopen it.
Am I missing something?

I don’t think there is that feature in this game, llus i haven’t been able to join online for the past few hours. Do you have the same issue?

Go to online tab in the menu on the bottom right there you switch between solo and online.

God Bless

sure there is …

go to free roam
hit the menu button
toggle over to the online tab
on the right hand side the last box shows either “horizon life” or “horizon solo”
if you are in horizon solo then it will show horizon life and you select that option to be in a horizon life
if you are in horizon life then it will show horizon solo and you select that option to be in a horizon solo

Thanks, but that’s not what I’m referring to though. I’m not in Solo, I’m in Horizon Life, just not connected to a session.

I get that too and the only way I’ve found is to select horizon solo and then go back into horizon life

That is because MP is broken, but if you go to solo and back again sometimes that will help but not much. Most sessions only have at the most 10 people in them, it’s broken and has been from the start.

Are you not in a session or in a session on your own.

How are you judging you are not in a session?

i know i see im in a horizon life session and i wont see anyone or the ai for minutes on end

the players and ai vanish and reappear all the time
i look at what i described above and even with network/disconnect notifications i am always seeing the horizon solo option.
so, that is telling me that i am still in horizon life and that the issue with the vanishing reappearing AI/players and the network disconnect notification are still existing and need fixed!

i was just in an arcade holding pattern and the players there, the arcade pink area and blimp all vanished and about 30 seconds later the pink area came back and the blimp came back but, the players where still invisible.
but, once the event started i saw the progression score increasing. half way through the event i saw 1 player pop up and near the end there was 4 players in the arcade that just appeared out of nowhere.

i think if you see horizon solo in the section i described above then you are in a horizon life session and its just the network/server bug that needs to be fixed.

When the servers are working, you can’t be in Horizon Life but not in a session. It might look like you’re by yourself in Horizon Life because of all the bugs. Most relevant bug is other players being invisible and not shown in the player list. But you can sometimes hear them, see dust trails and damage, and watch the score seemingly go up by itself in arcade events.
