Infinite Drop In Lobbies

Not sure how it happens, but there are instances where, the party is allocated members even when not searching for players. 

This needs to be fixed, since it slows down drop in play, since players will be automatically assigned to a party, which has this lobby bug. 

I do not know how the problem is created, but causes a block in the queue system for players of drop in.

    Hi there. If this happens again, can you get me a video of it? I'll get that reported. Thanks!

  • Hi EA_Aljo, 

    I've created a playlist for the bug here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXz5twR81mBcEiVVa4r6XP-Zyep-GU_5j

    This playlist includes five files that captures from when I joined the lobby until when the game starts. 

    In this version of the bug, it appears that CPUs played a whole 6v6 with no players involved. 

    Usually, when this happens, it allows both teams to play as normal, and when the game finishes, the cycle repeats. 

    Main problem here is that it slows down playing games in drop in, since you will be continuosly added to a lobby that has this bug. 

    If I encouter the other variant of the bug, would you like me to capture that as well?

    **Edit: The game crashed shortly after, completley taking down the game app on Xbox, restarting me at the Xbox home screen. 

    The Date-Time in the video title is the date time in UTC when the bug occurred. 

    Time period in UTC: 2025/10/27-01:38:29 TO 2025/10/27-01:54:18
