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 ### ▶ FREQUENCY OF ISSUE - **100%** of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS) ### ▶ REPRODUCTION STEPS 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. ### ▶ EXPECTED RESULT We should be able to see the banned maps instead of nothing. ### ▶ IMAGE ![20220305013656_1](https://forums.ageofempires.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/5/45ad0a0ff4cf59bc069aadaba790bfbb8567af8e.jpeg) ### ▶ GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING) - ---

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. ---

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](https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/pre-made-in-rank-or-quick-play-cannot-see-what-map-host-star-or-ban/213911/5) ---

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. ---
