Co-op join issues - common?

Got the game for a buddy and I.. started a new game - hit invite - off we went. No issues at all. About 3 hours in I noticed after saving the saved games weren't showing up in the menu anymore. When I went to save the saved games screen was just blank.
So I checked the steam folder and I could see the save###.dat files were there. We exited the game and I went to "load" and the saves were there.
Load the game but no invite goes out to my buddy. Force load and give him the code to join from code and the game says "cannot join lobby, try again later"
Steam friends, no option to "invite to join"
Start a brand new game and he can connect right up.
Anyone else experienced this? Do saved games get corrupted sometimes?
It's obviously not a firewall/network issue as he can join right up if I create a new game.
Any thoughts/ideas welcome.. we enjoyed playing but of course need a reliable way of saving and joining back up again on different nights.

I think this is because of the new feature, where you can convert multiplayer games to singleplayer games and the other way. My buddy and I have this issue since the last update.
Try to click Multiplayer -> load Singleplayer Save
You should see the savegame.

I noticed every time I overwrote a save and tried to load, the save was gone.

I hope this will be fixed soon.

All Co Ops have this problem at the moment.
We have a save with 179+ hours and after we played for a while after the new patch the same issue came along.
We are all waiting for a bug fix at the moment.
Feel free to go to their bug report site and upvote the ticket there though so they can see that a lot more people have this issue already.

You can still load these games and play co-op, you just have to add player slots and convert the single player save back into a co-op game. Once I did this I didn't have the problem again.

For me I have a older Co Op save, and we cannot even load it, it just gives error Logging Out, There was a communication Error with the Host.

I can't even start it in Single Player, or MP. Just cant load the save at all

Thx, worked fine. Lost some corrupted saves and some hours, but doing what you recommended solved the issue using the last "working" coop save

How did you make this? can't find any buttons/menu areas to add or kick players

Getting this error with an old coop game:

"Logging out.
There was a communication error with the host."

Can't load it at all to convert to single player or otherwise. Was like 100 hours into that save too. Hoping there's a bug fix soon.

We do have this issue as well. There's no solution for this yet as far as I know. I guess they don't use a backward compatible system. Which means if a savegame is older than let's say 3-4 patches, it's stopping to work.

While I can halfway comprehend for a game you need to put that many hours into and which you cannot always pullthrough in co-op with 2-X players needing to be available at a certain time for certain hours, it would be overdue to setup something like a savegame-converter that has the version data stored and can transfer the savegame over to the current version.
