I closed it and reopened and now it’s gone. I tried it out a few times and it did actually take my iso and yes, the matchmaking was still as bad as ever. Really weird though. This happen to anyone else??
Happened to me (Steam client, too) a couple of updates back. Did you check the data version numbers on the intro screen? When they’re not the same, it appears to mean the game has failed to update but gone ahead and started anyway because <insert snide insinuation about Demiurge’s competence of your choice>. That’s what was going on when I could briefly see Skip Tax in its full glory. It causes weird behaviour, most often active events failing to show up, sometimes active events showing up but having enemies and mission rewards all wrong. Hulk (I think it was) had everything awarding a fine selection of M.Hawkeyes once, which I rather enjoyed.
Seem you’re not supposed to skip a seed team.
Maybe it “goes away” just because you stop hitting those even just a little later (or once in the tournament).
