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.

    I have the same problem and I uninstalled the game, tried multiple accounts so it definitely is for all the console. I noticed it doesn't put me in the game when the tick doesn't appear next to my name in the lobby and found I have to leave the lobby after the game and rejoin to fix the issue. My friends say the tick appears on their screen hence why they are put in the game without me. I think the problem is the lobby freezes for me as I can't see if they ready up or if they have left the previous game if I load into the lobby first. Please fix ASAP as it is very very annoying.

    I'm having the same issue on PC. Incredibly frustrating for myself and my teammates going into ranked matches missing a player and getting left behind.

    I have tried all of the "troubleshooting" methods in another thread from February of 2019 and it still doesn't work. 

    Things I have tried:

    • Uninstalling and reinstalling the game
    • Repairing game files
    • Uninstalling the game and reinstalling to a different drive
    • Port forwarding for apex
    • Port forwarding for origin
    • Disabling UPnP in router
    • Disabling UPnP Device Host
    • Disabling SSDP Discovery
    • Turning off network discovery
    • PRAYING TO ANY AND ALL GODS WHO WILL LISTEN THAT THIS STOPS HAPPENING

    I've had the same problem since season 3. I always have to leave parties and then ask them to invite again.

    I tried many things and the most efficient one was to disable origin in game from the game properties tab. I got into a few games without having the bug at all but a day later the bug started

    occuring again. I really like this game but the fact that this bug is preventing me from playing is really annoying. They need to fix it.
