When teammate drops from 2v2, the game still starts with teammate instantly eliminated

Age of Empires IV IV - Report a Bug

Teammate had internet issues (Steam update?) and dropped. However, the quickmatch was able to start anyways with teammate instantly eliminated.

Hey @BrianLinOnline! I’m curious how you would prefer this to be handled. Would you rather AI take over, or be dropped back into the lobby with an error message? Or some additional option(s) I can’t currently think of (it’s pre-coffee Monday for me :laughing:)? Thoughts?

@SavageEmpire566
just an opinion
if it is quick match/Custom make AI take over
with the amount of sweat going on in quick play preferbly Hard/Hardest AI so the player dont feel a big disadvantage

How ever if it was Ranked probably best to cancel match with an error message

@SavageEmpire566 thanks for responding!

I prefer dropping to lobby/search screen with an error message, because usually I’m playing with family or friends.

The AI would work if I was searching for a 2v2 on my own, but that still brings up another set of questions: how hard should the AI be? How do I coordinate with my AI?

Thanks, all! I appreciate the feedback. I’ll take this to the team.
