A growing concern among players surfaces as reports indicate potential glitches affecting gameplay. Recently, players experienced unexpected crashes and bans linked to ongoing connectivity issues, leaving many questioning the stability of the game.

Players Report Gameplay Disruptions

In a recent incident, a player joined a match only to have the game crash almost immediately. Upon reloading, they noticed an unusual bugโ€”every player appeared stuck in the kickoff circle. The player managed to escape by jumping and using the boost button, although the game continued as if normal.

Strange Timing of Events

Interestingly, when the timer showed 30 seconds left, the scoreboard abruptly changed to "OT." A goal was scored, leading to confusion. Things got worse when the player exited the match; they were banned for inactivity, presumed to be due to a report by another player.

"You received the temp ban because your app wasnโ€™t connected long enough to register you actually playing," a commenter explained, shedding light on potential connection issues.

Community Responses Offer Tips

Members of the community quickly jumped in to provide insights and support. Here are the main themes from recent discussions:

  • Connection Issues: Many believe this glitch stems from poor server connection. Closing the app right after noticing issues can helpโ€”reload to rejoin a match with remaining time.

  • Temporary Bans: Players voiced concerns about receiving bans for inactivity, often resulting from these glitches. Comment sections reveal that one player also experienced the notorious "YOU" glitch that may contribute to these problems.

  • Possible Solutions: Suggestions from the community include frequently restarting the application until reconnections to the match are enabled.

Notable Opinions

  • "I havenโ€™t seen it myself, but it has been discussed before. Your best bet"

  • "Thanks so much for the explanation!"

Key Points of Interest

  • โ—‡ Potential connection issues causing multiple player glitches.

While the glitches seem problematic, players are adapting. The community remains vigilant, suggesting approaches to tackle these disruptive events. Will the developers respond with fixes? That remains to be seen.
