In this article:
A cooldown is applied for leaving a lobby.
A three (3) minute timeout is given to players who
-
Choose to leave a public lobby on purpose after prompted with an exit pop up
-
Disconnect from the server while in a public lobby
-
Close out of the game while in a public lobby (i.e. Alt- F4)
We recognize there will be situations where you may be disconnected outside of your control and we have put measures into place to reduce those risks.
Players will NOT receive a penalty if any of these circumstances occur within a public lobby:
-
When a party has been kicked from the lobby
-
When the party host leaves
-
Party internet connection is lost
-
Match does not have enough suitable players
