We are already tracking these issues with lobbies.

None of these issues are in the “Known Issues” list. That is why I want to specifically point these out.

Most of the issues may be fixed now :slight_smile: There’s still some remaining issues tho.

Still bugged as of now…

I encountered the totally broken sorting just a few days ago. Another persistent issue with lobbies is that rematch lobbies are always public, even if the original match was private. In my opinion, they should always be private, even if the original match was public.

Lobbies are still broken… I play only rank games now because each time I go to lobbies, there are all bug or I see only 1 or 2 Arabia lobbies, 1 or 2 Arena lobbies.

Before there was always 5 - 10 of each.

What’s wrong ??

New hotfix today, announcing that unranked lobbies are still bugged, still can’t filter non passwords for example. All wrong.

New patch today, still not fixed

Yeah no filters work and the big delay to a lobby show up is back.

Same issue here, lobby took 60 mins to find 3 players for a widely popular map (Nomad semi noobs).

Also lobby browser says our lobby has 5/8 players but we only have 2/8 in actual lobby.

The new update made it impossible to play unranked custom matches.
