Players not appearing on recent players

I know this has been brought up, but I was just curious if any fix was coming for it or if it's just MS failing hard.

I had some awesome games with a member of these forums and wanted to put him on my preferred list, but it was not there despite playing 4-5 matches in a row. :|

PS: I apologize for the last game since it made me craptastic host after the first one left... It almost always makes me host when host leaves.... (maybe devs could hard code the game to never allow me host :lol: )

I believe it has to do with the user's privacy settings. I could be wrong though.

I've been wondering the same thing. It seems quite often I'll go to my recent players list and not be able to find someone. If it happened just every now and then, then I would think that it had to do with privacy settings, but to me it seems like it's more than that.

Most cheaters are set to private so they can cheat and leave without you being able to report them later. About 80% of people who were really hardcore cheaters were set to private before the first update. But not everyone set to private is a cheater.

That would explain why the MNC dev I played on Monday didn't show up.

:mrgreen:

I believe if someone avoids you then they don't show up on your recent players. I've had this happen countless times, always seems to be the guy(s) that I pissed off the most.

This is the correct answer. If someone gives you negative rep, they won't appear on your players list.:geek:

I must get avoided quite often then. :lol:

I believe this happens when host leaves and it doesn't reconnect.

The game thinks you didn't play with anybody for some reason.
