Summary
Joining an empty game, with 0 players, will not let players join, but it will not send them back to lobby quickly either. You will see a loading screen for 2 minutes and you then get send back to lobby without even an error message.
If the island has at least 1 player this bug will not happen and you load in normally. This is a severe issue that is most present in 1v1 maps, since it is very often the case that a player that is alone leaves while there is someone else just about to join.
In the video attached you see my alt on my laptop. If I were to wait to get the Finest joined island message in the elimination feed then my main account would succesfully load in, but joining before that will cause the bug.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Matchmaking
Steps to Reproduce
- Set matchmaking to private
- Load into any 1v1 map with account 1 as a solo. For example 7950-6306-4857
- Account B joins account A’s party.
- Account B hits join
- Account B waits for the loading screen.
- Account A leaves the map.
- Account B will have the 2m loading screen bug.
Expected Result
Joining an empty lobby seems impossible due to technical issues. Why would the player have to wait 2 minutes for a game he cannot even join??? The player should be sent back to lobby way quicker in addition to getting a matchmaking error message saying “Tried to join an active game with 0 players”
Observed Result
2 m loading screen
