Waiting for opponent....

Hi,

I'm wondering what is happening when it says "Waiting for (input name of opponent)...... and then it doesn't connect after 20 sec to a minutes and I end up winning?? Happened a few times in the past and a few more times recently..... a bit more recently though. Would rather be playing the game then winning be forfeit.

Thanks,

Christian

    I am also experiencing this issue. Very frustrating. I have tried to play 5 games now and all end in concede.

    There is a bug that keeps matching you against opponents even if you cancel matchmaking. Of course you cant do anything so it just waits for you to timeout and concede. You probably faced against these people. Needs fixing asap because it can massively reduce your rank points if you accidentaly cancel matchmaking.

    There's a bug right now that causes some people to connect into ladder games without them knowing (and losing rank out of nowhere), your opponents not connecting and conceding are the victims of this bug.
