Ugh, my mic was muted, or there would be convenient verbal explanations here....

The writeup then:

00:00 Start
00:05 Queueing for Quick Play. (Extreme because there's a daily, so people will be doing that.) Nothing really interesting here beyond that the game just sits at the mission selection screen a while, when it should probably load into the multiplayer search lobby.
00:38 Game eventually loads into the multiplayer search lobby. As I'm the only one in queue, there's no sane reason this shouldn't be instant, even if there's some matchmaking going on in the background still.
01:01 As there's nothing really to see there, I ended the search. It might have found people, or it might have not. It might have loaded properly, or host might have disconnected. No idea.
01:04 Started another queue. Again with the super long delay before going to the multiplayer matchmaking screen.
01:37 Same behavior as before, got the multiplayer matchmaking screen finally. The bug I'm aiming to show doesn't seem to happen when you're the only one in queue, though this long delay often does.
01:44 Cancelled the queue again. Nothing to see here.
01:52 Here we go. The bug I was looking to demonstrate. Matchmaking Queue started again, taking a while to load.
01:56 This isn't necessary to my knowledge, but I existed out of the matchmaking screen while remaining in queue, by just right-clicking. Note that I'm still in the quick play queue. Same as you would see if you were partied up in a premade with other players, in the hangar.
01:58 The matchmaking screen flashes up for an instant, then vanishes. I'm now in the hangar, seemingly not in queue anymore.... Except I am in queue. I can't start another queue. I can't leave the queue. I can't play challenge cards.
02:08 I can't start a queue. (Because I'm already in one in the background.) I can't leave the queue either, as the popup in the hangar isn't there anymore. At this point, a couple things can happen: a) you can quit the game and restart it, to return to normal behavior. b) the host can quit, which dumps you to the hangar with the disconnected from host error. This bug continues to happen though. c) What happens in this video; other players join invisibly to you, and the match starts eventually, without warning.
02:54 Not sure what this sound cue is here, offhand. Maybe the matchmaking timer expiring unseen?
02:58 And loaded into a map without warning.
03:18 With two other players.
03:20 And a challenge card someone played while I was unable to even know that was happening or do it myself.
