I'm currently in a 60+ hour freeze off. 2 players in a row froze me intentionally in BR and I'm too stubborn to just quit even though I realize that is probably my best course of action. At least if I'm stuck with them they can't freeze anyone else.
I checked some game logs for both of these players and I can clearly see they both use this glitch all the time. The current person has the 5x Flawless BR nameplate so they've profited quite a bit from cheating. I hope these people get punished on top of this being fixed.
edit: I think he finally gave up or got disconnected after 61 hours so I'm finally free. I think I'll avoid BR for a few days until this is patched
