For the past several weeks, the majority of my FPP Squad ( PC ) games have been with only three players. It's rare to get a full team as of late. A lot of the times people just leave with three people and your left solo or as a duo in squad games. Im not sure, what exactly is going on. I think it became a real issue after they updated Miramar. I don't know if this is an attempt to fill the lobby faster by only having 3 man teams or just a mistake, but this seems like an easy issue to fix. Its turning me off the game and im getting off a lot faster than I normally would. It gets tiresome leaving game after game only to jump in with 3 players every time I queue. Please, fix this issue. How this hasn't been addressed I have no idea.

Hey, could you give me some more information on this, such as:

  • When you join a match lobbies, where are the timers at? Are the match start timers already counting down?
  • Do you join a full squad, someone leaves instantly and you continue to wait for a minute or two before the match start timer starts the countdown?

If a player leaves a match shortly before or during the countdown timer starts, the player slots will get locked in the game will start. The system does not wait until every squad has a full team. There are also 1 man squad players being mixed in which can cause uneven squad sizes if players from a full squad leave the lobby and a few players who queued up as 1-man squad join that lobby afterwards.

Due to this, I do not think that there is a bug at play. And to prove that there is, we'd need more data (reports, video clips etc)
