Tested twice with Incursion game mode exclusively, as other gamemodes show no similar issues, but all players, both team and enemy show up as Not Ready, regardless of pressing Ready or not.

I saw the same issue in the Incursion match I played.

(But it's not really an issue, because the Ready Button doesn't actually serve any purpose.)

I always saw the ready button as people on one team flexing their biceps at the other team. It only looks cool when everyone does it otherwise it's pointless.

No seriously why was there a ready button? I guess if enough people do it the countdown timer drops to below 10 secs right.

It serves a minor purpose. When around 90% of all players click the ready button, it cuts the waiting clock down to 10 or 15 seconds.

In some cases, most people ready up straight away, and I've seen it jump from 80+ down to 10 or 15. Beautiful.

Also, I could be mistaken with this one, but if everyone clicks Ready it goes straight to zero. I could be wrong though.

That's what it did when it was first introduced.

My understanding is that it now does nothing. The waiting clock jumps forward when the server has connected to all 24 game clients. That happens regardless of who has or hasn't clicked the ready button.

It used to delay the drop until everyone clicked ready. This behavior was removed (but not the button itself) because there was always someone who forgot to click, so each match experienced the maximum delay for not good reason.

I presume it's still there for use in private matches, so whoever is responsible for starting the match knows when the other team is ready?

RDY button has no purpose, the 'cuts down the time' is a lie.

Bug happens in every Incursion match, had 3 yesterday, same in all of them.
