Matchmaking Waiting/Looking Bug

[Xeno Repo]

Matchmaking in Operations is like pulling teeth most of the time.

Load in, pick mission, "Looking for Battle-Brothers". Then one guy loads in, steps into the ready zone, switches the lobby status to "Waiting for battle-brothers", and ends the "looking" aspect. Or, load into a host's lobby, he eventually leaves either post or pre mission which takes you back to your own hangar, but now whenever you want to make a new game it is set on "Waiting for battle-brothers" instead of "looking", making you have to quit to title and reload the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game so the lobby status resets. Just to do all of this ♥♥♥♥ over again. And the same thing happens when you're the host and someone leaves after it reaches 3, making the game think that the 3 threshold was reached or something and doesn't go back to looking for more players. Just to be sure, I waited for over 20 minutes in the "waiting" status while making some food when this bug happened for the umpteenth time so I could see that it wasn't me being impatient and no one ever entered the game again. Reset, enter new operation, "looking" status is back, and another player enters the lobby in less than 10 seconds.

Why? Why doesn't it stay on a permanent "Looking" status until the party is full or unless you've set it to a private game? Why, the ♥♥♥♥, am I having to spend over 5-10 minutes resetting my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game and waiting for people to load in and NOT leave so your ♥♥♥♥ code isn't triggered to bug out in order to finally get a measly two people to join? This isn't some crazy 25v25 pvp or 50 man pve, so how the ♥♥♥♥ has this managed to go unaddressed?

Im having the same problem. When you get the waiting for battle brother dont reset the game. Switch to the campaign and then switch back to operations and it will go back to searching for battle brother. I hope they fix this soon since its really annoying.
