Multiplayer game start glitch
under review
Have you the brain worms?
In the past month me and my friends experience a really infuriating bug. We queue into team duels, get into the lobby waiting for the opponent team, the game starts and we are still in the lobby! The game is actually going, but we can't see it until we refresh the page. After refreshing we get into the actual game. We lost couple of games due to this bug. Sometimes it glitches, sometimes it does not.

Is the issue repeatable?
- Yes. When it happens, both me and my teammate are affected by the glitch. One time we were in a lobby for too long, I refreshed the page and see that we're on round 2! I told my friend to refresh the page and the game started for him as well on the 2nd round.
I can not provide steps to recreate this issue - it may or may not happen. If we wait in a lobby for too long, we refresh the page every 5 sec, but that is super inconvenient.
It has started to happen in March. Before we never had this issue, even when lobby waiting time was too long. We get this issue only in unranked team duels, but we don't play ranked much. Maybe it affects ranked, idk.
Please also provide us with the following technical specifications:
* Device Type - both me and my friend use desktop.
* Operating System & Versions - both me and my friend use Windows 11.
* Browser Type & Version - I use latest Firefox, my friend uses latest Chrome.
* Screen Resolution - 1440p.
* Graphics Card - I have Radeon, my friend has Nvidia.
* Any browser extensions/scripts/plugins that are enabled - I have ublock origin and tampermonkey for learnable meta. My friend has only tampermonkey for learnable meta.
I don't have screen recording.
This issue was happening to my friend when he was playing with someone else. The exact same behavior - both players are not in the game when it starts, you need to refresh the page.

Marcus As far as I remember, my friend also had similar issue with ranked solo duels. He was waiting in the lobby for too long, quit and proceeded to play solo. Shortly after he noticed that his rating has decreased. He was in the ranked solo duel, even though he quit the lobby. It looked as if he did not guess any location.
