Build & Battle Match Pairing Glitch Causes Opponent Switch and Softlock Before Match Starts
I have already submitted a ticket. This is a copy for people on the forum who might have also experienced the same problem.
Game Mode: Build & Battle
Description:
I encountered a matchmaking glitch in the new Build & Battle game mode where the opponent suddenly changed during the loading screen before the battle started. After the opponent switched, the match became stuck and never properly loaded.
This issue does not happen consistently, but it has happened twice recently, both during the fifth match/run in Build & Battle mode.
Steps to Reproduce:
The issue may be difficult to reproduce consistently, but this is what happened both times:
- Enter the Build & Battle game mode.
- Progress until the fifth match.
- Queue for the next battle.
- During the loading screen before the match starts, the displayed opponent suddenly changes to a different player.
- The match fails to load properly and becomes stuck.
Expected Result:
The originally matched opponent should remain the same and the battle should start normally.
Actual Result:
The opponent changes during the loading screen and the game becomes stuck before the battle begins. Menus and buttons still respond, but the battle itself never starts. The only available options are to concede or force close the app, and restarting the app also appears to count as a concession.
Frequency:
Occurred twice recently. Not consistently reproducible.
Additional Notes:
- The game is not fully frozen, but the match cannot proceed.
- Because closing the app also appears to count as a loss, the run is effectively ruined when this happens.
- This may be related to matchmaking synchronization or opponent reassignment in Build & Battle mode.
