by Riachsoup » 15 Sep 2026, 10:09 There is an exploit/desync bug during online matches where adjusting settings mid-match boots the player back to the main menu without forfeiting cleanly, leaving the opponent indefinitely stuck. The opponent's screen shows the other player as "in menus", forcing them to quit and take an unfair ELO loss.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Enter an active online match.
Pause and navigate to the audio/sound settings menu during play.
Change an audio setting (for example, adjusting grunt volume).
Click Apply.
Observed Result:
The player who clicked Apply is immediately returned to the main menu.
The opponent remains locked in the active match session with an on-screen status stating that the other player is in the menus.
The match never resumes, forcing the stranded player to forfeit and lose rank points.
Expected Result:
Settings changes should apply without terminating or disconnecting the session, or if a disconnect occurs, the match should either safely sync or register the disconnecting player as having conceded.
