So apparently, there’s an Escape lobby with me as the host that’s bugged. Have received a couple of messages about it this past hour, so…I’m sorry, but I’m not really there. It explains a lot though, because I’ve run into these idle lobbies from time to time where the host wouldn’t start the game, but I just left, thinking nothing of it.
The one with Keegan/JD and Fahz title? 
Interesting. That might explain idle lobbies I’ve run into before.
I have no idea. I never started any lobby, so I don’t know how it happened.
There is something going on with the game today. Ghost lobbies everywhere, disconnected from gears services several times and during wave 28 the game kicked me out to a black screen and back to dashboard and then reloaded to the rewards page only to tell me I was removed from the game lol.
I don’t think a lot of people actually sending you those messages would read this post. Unless there is a ton of forum lurkers, I don’t think we are that big of a group of players on the forums.
Having said that, I suspect some servers are/were having hiccups. Was playing earlier and at one point there was a match rewards error and then the game ran a countdown in the lobby, making the whole thing bug out and require a restart, without the host ever actually giving the input to start the match.
Curious what time it was when it happened to you?
1:30pm est it was golden. 1:45 pm est mid game freezes and then kicked, and oddly enough I earned ribbons and points from that game.
Long Live Guardian!
Ah I thought it was just me because my connection isn’t so good anymore. Anyway, been getting kicked all day before matches could start didn’t know what the heck was going on but assumed it was my fault for the internet.
