As RecRoom usually doesn’t show any error messages or any reasons on why you were sent back to your dorm room, it can range between a dropped internet packet, which RecRoom does not handle safely to playing RecRoom for long enough that your device had run out of memory. Doesn’t hurt to eliminate one after another.
If you have a computer on the side, as for testing if your internet is healthy for playing on RecRoom, can try to use the free version of PingPlotter and change your interval to be something like every .5 seconds. Then let it run for a moment or even awhile you play RecRoom and at any chance that the graph on the bottom shows a red bar, your internet service is dropping packets. You’d need to consider restarting the router/modem and seeing if this issue goes away or wait until the problem resolves as your ISP troubleshoots.
Only have a mobile phone? Can try to install the WifiMan app and select the tab that shows your current ping and be sure that graph doesn’t spike up or show your ping going to a high number.
RecRoom doesn’t handle dropped packets nicely or periods of split second no internet connectivity, drop a few packets and you’re bound to just be sent to your dorm room. Usually easily noticeable that you’re going to an offline dorm if it doesn’t say dorm room but a unique room code of your dorm room.
Hopefully a future update could help make RecRoom more resilient to unstable internet or that you find a way to reproduce it more directly!
