@flak here is the thread for this issue, thanks!

Here’s a video

The status of FORT-1114470 changed to ‘Needs Triage’. We are routing this to the appropriate team for investigation.

When join in progress is enabled in my map, parties are always split randomly across teams, even if they join at the start of the game. Since 41.0, parties are being split again and I assume this is the cause.

The problem appeared in the new season

The issue persists after v41.10, though I’m not sure if join in progress/backfill was resolved.
