Meccha ChameleonKicked After Shooting

If firing one Hunter shot gets you kicked from the room, disconnected, or returned to the lobby, a version mismatch may be the cause. Update the game before rejoining.

Update the Game First

Player reports suggest that mismatched game versions may cause the Hunter to be kicked from the room after firing.

Updating the host and every player is the best first troubleshooting step, but it may not solve every case.

What Is the Hunter Shooting Bug?

Hunter fires once

How to Fix the Hunter Shooting Bug

  1. Leave the Current Room

    Back out of the room before changing versions or restarting.

  2. Fully Close the Game

    Exit Meccha Chameleon completely.

  3. Check Steam Downloads

    Look for a Meccha Chameleon update and let it finish.

  4. Confirm the Host Is Updated

    Ask the host to verify they are using the current version.

  5. Confirm Other Players Are Updated

    Room participants should also check their current version.

  6. Restart the Game

    Relaunch after Steam finishes updating.

  7. Create or Rejoin the Room

    Use a fresh room if the previous one still behaves strangely.

  8. Test One Hunter Shot Again

    Test carefully and watch whether the issue returns.

No guaranteed fix

Updating is the first player-reported fix to try. It should not be described as guaranteed to solve every kick, disconnect, or lobby return.

Why Can Different Versions Cause Problems?

Multiplayer rooms need players to exchange compatible game and match data. When versions differ, current players report that actions such as firing may trigger unexpected room or game behavior.

This is a cautious explanation of reported behavior. This page does not invent a specific network protocol, error code, patch version, or official technical cause.

Do Not Confuse the Bug With Normal Gameplay

Not Normal Hunter Behavior

One shot should not exit the game

One shot should not normally be described as a command to exit the game.

Not an Ammo Rule

Do not confuse it with ammo settings

Ammo may depend on room settings, but limited ammunition is not the same as being removed from the game.

Not a Confirmed Official Name

Use descriptive wording

Do not treat any community nickname as a confirmed official name.

What If Updating Does Not Fix It?

  • Confirm Steam has finished the update.
  • Restart Steam and the game.
  • Confirm every participant has updated.
  • Try a newly created room.
  • Record when the problem occurs.
  • Note the selected mode, map, host, and whether Workshop content is active.
  • Check current developer or Steam community notices.
  • Report the issue if it continues.
Avoid unconfirmed risky fixes

This guide does not recommend registry edits, DLL changes, save deletion, operating-system reinstall steps, or other unconfirmed cleanup actions. If the game fails before a room opens with an invalid or missing token message, use the separate authentication token error guide.
