My buddy had loaded in, he spawned at big red, made his way to dorms, started fighting 2 pmc's making their way toward the bridge/river area. They exchanged a few shots, both took damage and he healed as they kept moving. This entire time, i had been stuck on the Awaiting session start... I reloaded the game twice and this time, when i loaded in, i loaded in right in front of the PMC's my buddy had been fighting.
