Maybe this is bnet itself messing up or maybe it's the map. Basically there are a couple of problems:
1. Map will be stuck pending/joining even though anyone in the lobby actually sees you join and you are there and the map starts you are in the game.
2. If you click around bnet (like game info etc) while in lobby, it will not let you return to the lobby even though you are there like stated above.
3. Map starts out on custom teams, even if you set it to 2 teams and then go public, it can still randomly fuck up and put 3v1 or 1v3 instead of 2v2. Or, you can accidentally move a player and make it uneven as well. And you cannot change it back.
I am thinking maybe it has something to do when you turn from private into public game? I invited my friend when it was a private game, and it's no problem. but if I invite him when its turned into public, they he has the issues.
It's not always the case though, it seems.. Guy just joined no problem after it was pub, then he left and rejoined and got the bug. He said he clicked the 'play again' button, which worked. And the first time he joined, when it was pub it didn't work. So clearly, it is some sort of public vs private bug.
@3:
That is a general problem of locked teams. Battle.net still lets you move players into other teams by dropping them onto the team name label in the lobby.
Ahli, thanks for help on IRC. The bug is actually an arcade feature.. Map>Map options. Then turn off the hide lobby. Lol why would you ever want this, and why is it default..

How do I fix these problems?
