What has caused you to get probation... let's list them... [HOT FIX MOVED 12/11]

Posted by rankismet on Dec 12, 2012 9:36 AM

The latest patch brought a lot of change to MP... some welcome, some not so welcome.

 

And some downright redonculous.

 

Probation.

 

Rather than rant or randomly complain, let's just make a list of the causes on why you have been placed on it. I'll compile new ones to the OP as they are added. Add the time, too. I have only been given 1 minute but I bet there are longer ones.

 

Cause of 1 minute probation:

 

* 3 TK kick from HC playlists

* Server unavailable disconnect

* XBL unavailable disconnect (XBOX restart)

* Host migration at the start of a match, complete match, back out to get new room

* Accept invite from friend and leave game in progress (including boot camp)

* At XBOX Live start of MP

* No suitable host found, returned to lobby

* Freeze on match loading, restart XBOX

* Leaving a game lobby before the game starts if the timer has reached game start

* Host quit during final kill cam, sent to lobby

* Kicked from match due to inactivity (AFK)

* Backing out to lobby after multiple completed matches

 

 

Cause of 5 minute probation:

 

* Exiting Emblem Editor and returning to lobby

* League match, host on opossing team quits at final kill cam

 

 

Probation Warning:

 

* Exiting a local match prior to match end.

 

 

 

It's annoying, but a list of causes will help debug faster.

 

 

*************************************************************

 

Looks like a hot fix has been moved in... keep the updates coming if you encounter anything post update.

 

UPDATE from TA:


A live update has been released addressing Probation and security-related issues. Keep calm and frag on.

*************************************************************

 

Post Hot Fix Update:

 

So, I tried to trigger probabtion last night (12/11) and I did not get it. Looks like it might be solved for the following:

 

* 3 TK kick to lobby from HC playlist

* Leave match prior to ending (2x in a row)

* Leave lobby prior to match start

* Accept party invite during in progress match

 

I didn't get a host disconnect (shock of shocks).

    I finished a match and got back to player lobby, then I backed out of the lobby and received a minute probation.

    Was there a host migration in that same lobby at any point?

    This is odd for me as all of these items posted above has happened to me but I never received probation.

    HA! At this rate, you will be on Probation as soon as you put your 360 on and sign in.

    I've had 3 games on the trot ended when the host migration failed, then waiting in the lobby the next game reaches the countdown timer then crashed saying this game is no longer available and I'm back at the search for game screen.

     

    I get a minutes probation with no warning as soon as I click on find match, not the best way to keep the fan base happy.

     

    And before anyone mentions it no I don't dashboard.
