Lobby Freezing and Priority Queue Loss After Player Leaves Before Match Start

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	Anonymous on October 30, '26
Reported for:	10.2.2
Actual Result:	No one joins the lobby
Expected Result:	Players should join the lobby and if you leave the lobby you should still have your priority (I think loosing your priority shouldnt be a thing)..
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Sometimes
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	IDK if it is possible. But a quick fix would be that you can keep your priority if you leave the lobby. So it doesnt hurt the killer so much.

Steps to Reproduce

Join a full lobby as a survivor
Wait until the timer is on 0 as a survivor
Instant alt f4 or stop the game as a survivor. (Idk if it also happens if the killer does it)

Explanation

If you are in a lobby. And the game is about to start and then someone leaves while it is about to transfer to the loading screen like in the video I gave you . The starting pauses and the lobby just dies. With dying I mean It seems that nobody can join, so you never get a match. The problem I have is that you are forced to leave the lobby. And as Killer you loose your priority queue. And it seems that if you leave the lobby you are getting stuck in an infinte endgame screen
