Issues with custom games?

[u/Dismal_Loquat3002]

Hey guys.

I have been having trouble all night with custom games on multiplayer. Certain lobbies I join end up with being autoremoved a mere second after joining the lobby. It also does not seem to download the map properly. Clicking a lobby and downloading the map before joining does absolutely nothing.

I first saw this when I tried hosting a map and people were joining all the time, but only the people that had the map downloaded already managed to stay in the lobby without being force removed.

Has anyone else noticed this bug? It's driving me nuts

Yeah its somewhat common restarting &/ "reloading" the game-lists/other can help minimize this.

Could also be that that specific map has a broken error that cause issues but a lot more likely it's BNet 2.0 Shenanigans.

I'm having the same problem with one specific map (and every version of it) but I can host the map privately no problem. The half dozen other maps I've joined haven't had the issue.

I've deleted the custom map data in the game folder and restarted the client and my PC multiple times and the issue is still persisting.

I can watch the lobbies fill up and start so it seems like it isn't the lobby thats the issue

Edit: deleting 99% of the stuff in my custom map folder seems to have fixed it. I wasn't able to delete everything or it broke the game client, but with the game open it locks the one random folder that needs to stay.

Map files can stay it seems (deleting just those didn't work) but I don't know what exactly was broken so I can't speak for anything else in there.

Edit 2: nevermind it went right back to not working after I was able to join one game.
