- There’s an odd bug happening with every non-Ranked playlist where you will get randomly booted to the lobby screen while the game is still active. This nullifies all REQ and XP you would have gotten that match (unless it ended) and there’s seemingly no way to circumvent it from happening. (It’s possible that this is tied to the Join In-Progress option.)This glitch happens mostly in Warzone Firefight and some custom game types like Grifball or Minigames. It doesn’t seem to be tied to announcers (which was my first guess), Mythic skull modifiers, or an enemy type. It may be tied to the transition on spectator camera and end-cinematic.
Its effects also change; on some occasions, I could see the Carnage Report, others I could only open the Spartan Hub, but couldn’t navigate. The true constant is that I couldn’t Quit Activity. Also, the game treats it as a non-penalized disconnect, not a leave.
This kick to lobby glitch is also a huge softlock. Hitting the “Quit Activity” button does not work, effectively making you need to restart the game.
Theory: This glitch is tied to “Join-In Progress.” At some point during a match, the screen blacked out during gameplay and faded back in like a respawn. Also, any time I could see the Carnage Report, the game would have immediately replaced me and several other players, it seems. This bug didn’t happen during play in Ranked.
