What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. In 'Ready' state waiting for queue
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 1.5 (literally almost every single time)
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Start of new season
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? After almost every match (literally) either ranked or pubs (duos or trios as well) I can press the button to ready up. I hear the sound for ready but my level/rank icon above my legend doesn't change. The game mode window changes (as if queueing for a match) but it will either so matchmaking progress or say player loading (even if I am solo). And after waiting I may or may not be put into a match. The only way to 100% guarantee I'm put into a match is to close and restart the app after a every match. Also, for a time, joining someone else's lobby or being invited to one would circumvent having to restart app. That is now spotty and not as consistent as just resetting the app.
What should be happening instead? Pressing ready button should lead to ready state. New match should start.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure. I've come across xbox and ps players with the issue not necessarily pc players (i've asked a few times). A few people were able to confirm it only started this season for them as well others weren't sure.
Please see images attached. On PS5 (have asked random players and others on xbox and ps4 have experienced too, not sure on pc yet) lobby will bug and not show 'Ready' state. The game mode/matchmaking box will change and can either show queue progress, static matchmaking... dialogue, or "party member preprocessing..." message. I never know when I'm actually going to get put into a match as the 'match start' sound can also play but I may or may not be put into a game. The only sure fire way to get into a match is to reset the app after every match. This occurs with Ranked and pubs (duos and trios). Not a network issue specifically as I haven't had this issue until the start of this season but I've had the same net. please advise thanks.
