      When I tried hosting a game of world domination and every game hosted - crashed, which was a real bummer since many people wasted an hour of their time in lobby sim. So I tested and narrowed the problem - once you set spawn to random - unbalanced and teams - manual select, with rnough players in the lobby (you can just add bots to all spots) the game wont start and lobby dies. this has caused much more butthurt that i'd like to admit but hopefully writing this ticket eases my pain. image_2025-09-26_231502792.png

        I can reproduce the issue on my end. As soon the lobby is full, and host press start, the lobby freezes without any error. CPU core is 100%.

        Will provide log soon. Known issue.

          This is a known issue: https://github.com/FAForever/fa/issues/3041

          The easiest solution is to shuffle the lobby yourself a few times. And then just launch using manual spawns.
