    Four times now I have been playing a game and then it ends, saying I forfeited.  It's not like I let it time out or anything like that, it just happens.  It doesn't give me any warning before it throws me out of the game.

    What's going on?

    It's likely a disconnection from the WGT server that your app is not showing you until it's too late for you to try to reconnect.

    Unfortunately, this is not a new problem.  See this thread from last year:

    Game auto forfeiting my games randomly

    another possibility is the invite bug.

    if you are in a coin game and someone invites you but you don't hit decline. then after about 30 secs or so it will kick you out of the game you were in.

    possible that they fixed this bug and i don't know about it. because I always play as hidden to avoid this problem. no one can invite me.

     

    i do this because most of the time I'm playing on a tablet in a bar and i often look away from the screen. too easy for me not to see an invite for the 5 seconds it's on the screen.

    I would bet its as @samspayed said and its just a disconnect between you and server. This seems to happen more to mobile players than PC.

    There are also some who believe this is done by your opponent on purpose.

    So do I, But if someone types your name in- It still sends an invite...Definitely happens less but still seems to be an issue.
