When playing a team game via Quick Play in either Random Map or Empire Wars, my list of banned maps seems to be disregarded. I have, on multiple occasions, had a banned map be the one selected.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
Frequent. It seems like if it doesn’t occur, it’s just a coincidence that it happened to pick a map that I hadn’t banned, rather than being because it was not banned.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
Create a party in Quick Play
Ban the maximum of 4 maps
Queue
Sometimes have a banned map be the one you match on
Just to decide if these issues might be related, did you ban the maps for this particular game or were they banned in the previous game as well? I have the impression the selections are not properly saved between games.
As you can see in the attached video recording of this incident, Black Forest was a banned map for this particular time queuing, despite showing up as the matched map.
Yes, I see. It is definitely a bug. But I was wondering if you had the same maps banned in a previous game, and maybe the game failed to use that list for this game as well. I’ve seen issues where map picks were not applied to new games automatically.
You can’t specifically see at/after the end of the match, which maps you had banned. But, since your ban selections are being saved between games, you just go and see what map is already banned.
