This happens in Total Mayhem WAY too often.
It also magically happens when I’m in a winning match.
Guess what happens next? We get put in a new map on attack when we’d previously been on Defense and we end up losing…every time.
Can you like…fix this already? this has been reported since OW1

happens to me all the time in QP too. Server just dies and it starts again in a new map with the same people. A bit infuriating.

i noticed that every time i get this error its because all of a team uses their ults
It is rare, but I had instances where players on the enemy team were cheating and winning and when we turned the game around the servers would magically crash. Not saying that every server crash is due to cheaters, but it is a thing and happened many times. You can google OW2 crasher.

Small indie company issues.
The reason this happens is a fatal exception in memory on the server, it’s caused by too many abilities being used at once with too many things to compute.
One of the reasons the map rotation in TM is so limited is due to this as well.
They’d have to fix the engine to slow or pause gameplay while the processes execute to prevent this from happening, and rather than causing everyone’s game to stop mid way through, wait for it to catch up, and essentially pausing the game, they just let it error out and create a new game.
Just be glad it doesn’t count that server reset as leaving a game

Hate to be that guy but no one cares about TM. It’s a game mode that has the least players, so game servers for it are naturally going to be potatoes.
i think assuming that just b/c YOU don’t care about total mayhem means the devs dont…is a stretch. they’ve made a number of tuning passes to TM even in the most recent past when certain heroes were completely broken in that mode (like Ana, Zarya, Ball.)
Lies! I care about TM, it’s the only reason I log in to play OW anymore lol.
I won’t say that they don’t care about TM, but I’m ticked that Mystery Heroes is a permanent feature in game modes, but TM cycles every other day. They need to swap those two out, give some of us TM lovers a consistent fix for a few months.
