What Firevolt confirmed
A 4 September hotfix improved Steam launch, online login, and lobby startup reliability, including a host Play-button issue after an AFK period or brief disconnect. It did not confirm the exact phrase “cannot connect to host.”
Safe version check
Both partners should update the game and compare the version number in the lower-left of the main menu. Firevolt also recommended restarting Steam for continuing login trouble after the launch hotfix.
What remains unresolved
The checked sources do not publish one universal cause or port, firewall, router, or third-party patch fix for this query. Unknown Online-Fix packages are not recommended as official troubleshooting.
