:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Banned and prefered maps do not appear when somebody else is the party leader in a TG game. Instead I can only see maps that were This is really annoying and has been around for a few months now.

  • I have uploaded a picture where we are 4 people and we have banned 4 maps. Instead of that, I can see some random maps that we have not banned

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Join in a ranked lobby when somebody else is the party leader.
  2. They launch queue with the banned maps.
  3. Banned maps do not appear.

We should be able to see the banned maps instead of nothing.

To help the devs have more info:
This bug happen when the queue starts not before.
What we see instead is the preferred/banned of the player not of the host.
The error is simple and can be easily fixed. The state of banned/preferred maps during game queue is referenced to the player instead of the host.

still not fixed… happen 100% of the time for all players

I presume the bug is only occuring in 3v3s and 4v4s, not in 2v2s, isn’t it?

This is another report on the same issue: Pre-made in Rank or Quick Play cannot see what map host star or ban - #5 by zeusk0g

This is the most visible bug anyone can experience. How can this bug still not fixed yet?

I don’t understand how can this be complicated.

Before launching the queue:
What host see:
Map 1 3 4 banned
What players see:
Map 1 3 4 banned (works perfect until launching the queue)
until now The API that retrieve the banned maps works perfectly.
After joining the Queue (finding Match …) :
Host still can see his maps banned
Other players: the banned maps resets: Why? because They now see instead their previous settings. Clearly here the API that retrieve the banned maps use the players own id instead of the host’s ID.
