Windows [HELP] Guest connection drops when host is in mines

Recently got my wife to buy the game to play together, and we're encountering an irritating issue. I host the game, and she joins. Everything works perfectly fine. However, if I (host) enter the mine, after a few minutes she (guest) loses her connection. When she tries to reconnect, she can't, for about a minute, and then she can reconnect even if I'm still in the mines. She'd drop out again after a few minutes if I continue to stay in the mines. If I get out, there's no connection error.

If she (guest) goes in the mines alone, there's no problem. If we both go in the mines and be in the same level, she still drops out.

We both play through Steam and the game is up to date. I (host) play on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04), and she (guest) is currently playing on windows 10. We're gonna try and see if the connection issue still happens if she plays on her Linux boot too (but haven't tried it yet). The language of the game is English on both. I'm playing on a 2560x1440 screen while she's playing on 1920x1080.

Another day, and still no problem. Looks like the solution in that thread (weird as it was) did really work.

Actually this still keep happening every now and then. Some times it helps if I (server) ALT+TAB out and back real quick every now and then. It doesn't matter if the guest is on Linux or Windows
