:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

as title suggested, there seems to be a limit on number of lobbies that will show in lobby browser and newer created game will not show at all regardless of search or sorting. this wasn’t much of an issue prior, at best minor inconveniences during peak hours but now with xbox patch, a ton of games created and some even hosting several lobbies (abusing some form of bug).

please implement a feature to CANCEL a lobby if host sits idle and havent chatted for over 15 mins to allow new lobbies to show.

screenshot below of one abusing this, lobbies there for hours and even days

Thanks for the report @thieftdp8498 :slight_smile: We’re already tracking this issue with lobbies.

can’t this be fixed with a hotfix or something? many people are affected and can’t play custom game properly with number of AFK host and idle lobbies. any idea if we have to wait till DLC or even after DLC for a patch?

Unfortunately we can’t provide an estimated time for a fix to come, sorry.

Is there a “main thread” where this issue is being discussed?
As of now there are maaaany of those complaints all around the forum…

In addition, I’m wondering if the lobby issues got fixed in the new patch (even though the new patch got rolled back), as that wasn’t mentioned in the patch notes.

Or are custom lobbies going to be an extremely miserable experience if you’re not in (m)any third-party communities for months now?

issue seems less now, and delay is also less but still there.
