What happens when the bug occurs? When the bug occurs my squadmates are loaded into the game and i'm left in the lobby. I have to leave the lobby after every match i play with someone or this bug occurs. This bug only occurs when trying to play with a pre made squad from my friends list.
What should be happening instead? I should be loaded into the game without having to leave and be re invited into the lobby.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure. Out of all the people ive spoken with im the only one having the issue.

When playing with friends off my friends list we are able to get into the first match no problem. After the first match when we are returned to the lobby we start another match and my friends are loaded into the game while im left in the lobby. This occurs everytime i play with a party from my friends list. It doesnt matter which legend i play with this occurs every game. In order for me to play with my friends for multiple matches I have to leave the lobby and be re invited after every single match.

    What happens when the bug occurs? I ready up with my friend to play (pubs or ranked, it doesn't matter) and it will say "party not ready" in the bottom left. My friend makes it into the game but I do not. I just stay in the lobby now un-readied while he is playing a man down.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? No idea, I've had the issue across ps4 and ps5 for the last 2 years.

    Video of the issue attached.

  • Yep! There will be the “click” of me reading up, and I show as ready on my friends screen apparently, but nothing comes up over either of our heads. It even shows me as ready in the bottom left too.


    I’ve had this issue for years, can’t believe it hasn’t been fixed.

  • Yea. I've had this bug, or variations of this bug since day 1 it feels like. Players getting left in the lobby, ready not showing correctly for all players etc etc. 

    However it really got supercharged for me this season, happening every return to lobby almost. 

    Only thing that fixes it for me is leaving the squad and being re-invited.

    I wanted to hit the "me too" button on this issue, until I figured out I had already, well over a year ago.

    It's back with a vengeance in this season, and I get glitched in the lobby almost every time we return to lobby. Making me have to quit the squad and get re-invited

  • Yeah just sucks having to wait for my friend to finish the ranked game he gets put into when I’m left in the lobby hahaha.

    Yup, still going strong. Every second game. If anybody wants to get free ranks by surviving and getting no negative points, since the game mismatched, hmu
