Re: Change in search criteria hits for random MP game

  I don't know if this is by design or a bug, but I've tried searching for available MP games with the criteria set to "Master" (stroke and match play, any for other options) and have been put into a game hosted by a "Pro" tier player.

  Before the upgrade, I would end up in a game with another Master tier player or there would be no hits for the search (which is good).

   

  edit:

  Now it seems to be working.   Maybe it's a sequence thing, I'll see if I can replicate it.

  This is the sequence that replicated the problem for me.

  Try to join a random game with all of the options in the previous post, stroke play.

  Joined a game correctly with Master tier player.

  Game gets cancelled by the host (prior to even loading game, still in game lobby).

  I try another search, same criteria.

  I end up in a game hosted by a Pro tier player.

  Bump... kind of.... I think what's happening here is a master has set up a game with no conditions, didn't like the opponent he/she found, left the game without teeing off, and the pro is left in control of the lobby which was originally set up as a master game.  Therefore your search finds it.  It's been happening to me lately too.
