@IvanHCastro any update on this issue?

Hi @NightFury8985

Thanks for bringing this to us. I am not sure if I understand what you are reporting here.

The issue is:
a- I have maps selected as banned/preferred and those are not being respected when I am not the party leader
b- I don’t see the same maps the party leader chose

@IvanHCastro
=> b) You do not see the same maps (banned or preferred) that the party leader has selected.

This is also not a niche issue, as it happens quite frequently. There is clearly a technical problem with how preferred and banned maps are communicated to non-party leader players.

As a non-party leader, you can see when the leader selects bans and a favorite, but you can never be sure that these are the maps the leader has actually chosen. This discrepancy is a frequent topic when queueing with friends, as the maps shown as banned almost never match what is communicated over voice chat.

[Note: a) “I have maps selected as banned/preferred and those are not being respected” is a different problem and only affects Unranked Quickplay to my knowledge (Issues: Quick Play game on a banned map and Map Ban System Failing in Quickplay Teamgame Matchmaking)]

This issue may be related: Banned maps do not appear in team game

the issue is b. and it happens 100 percent of the time when playing 4vs4

Yes, this issue is not only easy to reproduce but also very obvious. It raises the question: do the developers regularly play multiplayer? If not, perhaps Microsoft should consider a weekly, paid gaming session. This could help ensure that bugs like these are identified and resolved within days rather than taking years. :wink:

Hello everyone,
thanks a lot for bringing these issues to our attention, we are now tracking them.
Have a great day
