The pause timer glitch is ruining this game.

This happened to me once and I didn't fall for it, but there was some weirdness to the way both messages actually overlaid on my screen and I squinted just hard enough to work out that something wasn't right. My understanding from a previous report on the issue is that for some people it's impossible to see the underlying message about the friendly quit and only the message about the timer is visible, but somehow the fq is accepted when the button is pressed. OP may not have been able to prevent this happening depending how the messages were displaying on his screen. I think in my case the user attempting to get me to press incorrectly messed up his timing a bit, but if the timing is perfect I think the glitch is the way both messages exist on the screen simultaneously, and that shouldn't really happen.

While the individuals who commit to attempt this type of cheese should be held accountable (they wont, it is the internet after all), I do believe that this is a lesson in patience and reading.
Agreed! When prompt comes make sure you read b/c it could be frienly quit request.

People let the timer run down to zero and send a friendly quit. Beware
I have said for years that I have no idea why SDS doesn’t just put a second promt that says “Are you sure you want to friendly quit?” This is such a simple fix & would completely end this desperate tactic.
This right here is one of things about MP that burns my @ss.This is an exploit that determines win or loss but they wanna focus on crybaby R2 complaint, while things like this take a backseat.

Did this to a poor Xbox kid in the event last week. So satisfying!!!!!!

no i mean like on xbox, the pause timer never runs out. when it hits zero, i hit x to make them forfeit and the pause timer starts again at 2:30. must be an xbox thing.

I'm on playstation and never seen this. Maybe its an Xbox thing like you already stated. Bizarre but beware of the friendly quit scam right before the opponents timer runs out. Desperate people play that game and it works on new players who don't read the full message that prompts on the screen.

Lmao this is hysterically bad

Its a thing, for me seems to be related to cross play. Played a Playstation player last week, he let the timer run to zero, when it hits zero and asks if you want to forfeit your opponents game and you hit yes it simply restarts the pause timer to 3 minutes. Went on about 12 minutes before it finally worked.

What would make you wanna do this to someone in an event game? He gets screwed out of a win and you don’t benefit from it - am I missing something?

He is begging for attention, and you just gave it to him.

Happened to me 3 times last week playing br. 2 of them never ended and I gave up. The last one the guy messaged me trying to pretend like he was kicked and tried to get me to quit. Waited an hour and a half and the a hole started the game trying to catch me off guard when I didn't respond to a message. This game is full of scumbags

I was on a 9 win streak and I think I get diamond player at 12 wins so I didn't want a loss.

Another reason to eliminate the option of friendly quit altogether for online play.

This isn't a case of sneaking in a last second FQ. It's people who can run out their timer. And when we go to press forfeit the clock resets.

I understand. Still another reason to eliminate the FQ. It's coding behind the FQ that is the likely cause of the glitch resetting the timer

How do you know that?
Edit: just re-read and saw you said likely. Still what makes you jump to Fq coding?

It's code. After the timer runs out, a condition needs to be met to require the next action. If there is missing or bad code, it will often revert back to a default portion of coding, thus resetting the timer.
As described by people here experiencing it, there's an Xbox attribute to this glitch. Likely related to cross play. During PS v PS, this glitch isn't there. Once again, based on the feedback in this thread.
What's different in Xbox vs PS games? Coding.
PS user is sending a request to have opponent forfeit the game. It's being translated to the Xbox console. Xbox reading it incorrectly, doesn't know what to do, so it is resetting the timer.
