Opponent Paused After I Won in Rivals – Match Resulted in Loss / No Contest

I’m reporting an issue that occurred in one of my recent Rivals matches.

I clearly won the game, and immediately after the final play my opponent paused the match and remained in the pause menu for an extended period of time. After waiting, the match then resulted in either a loss for me or a no contest, despite me having already secured the win.

This did not appear to be a normal disconnect. The timing of the pause right after the game ended, followed by the result being overturned, makes it seem like a potential exploit or glitch was used to avoid taking the loss.

I also have video evidence of this happening, which I will be attaching to support this report.

This is extremely frustrating in competitive online play, especially in Rivals where match results directly impact record and progression. Wins should not be able to be manipulated or voided in this way.

Please investigate this issue, as it seems like players may be abusing a pause-related glitch to avoid legitimate losses.
