Title: Stolen Friend Match (All Logs + Reproduction)

Summary: A friend match in progress can have the opponent replaced by someone in queue.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Join queue. (Empty queue is sterile conditions)
  2. Send OPPONENT_1 a match request. Select standard, have both select any characters.
  3. After the game begins, have OPPONENT_2 join queue.

Expected Results: Host fights OPPONENT_1. OPPONENT_2 remains in queue or gets matched against someone else.

Actual Results:
After a while, the game will stutter a bit, and OPPONENT_2 will take control of OPPONENT_1’s character. OPPONENT_2 apparently sees themselves as whoever they picked when they joined queue. Host player sees their inputs as displayed by OPPONENT_1’s character.

Notes:
Tidazi is Host player.
Nobody is OPPONENT_1.
Denus is OPPONENT_2.

Appears that OPPONENT_1 sees host disconnect from match.

Thanks for the detailed report, I’ll have the fix to this in the next update.

It turns out that the game incorrectly stayed in the QM queue after starting a friend match, which caused this bad state. In the meantime, to work around this bug, just make sure to manually cancel your QM queue before starting a friend match.

This will probably also fix the problem described in this other report:
