:arrow_forward: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: ######
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When I do quicksearch (ranked game) I get to a lobby but either the game never starts or it OOS.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 50% of the time / matches I play (FREQUENTLY)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Do quicksearch for a team game
  2. A lobby is opened but 1 player is missing (emtpy slot)
    => “waiting for other players” never stops. If the game starts (happens sometimes), then there is Out of Sync right away.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

When there is a full lobby a game should start right away. If a player drops during the process the lobby should be quit with an error and it should not be stuck forever “waiting for other players”. Optimally the lobby would stay open for other people in quicksearch to join.
