No LFG Prompt When Starting a Trial

[Apparition]

A friend of mine runs Incarnate trials one night per week on the Excelsior server.  For the past two weeks, one trial per evening I did not receive a LFG prompt when the trial was ready to start.  The prompt that says something like "20 of 22 are connected, yadda yadda yadda", with the green and red buttons.  It didn't show at all.  Both times, I was directly invited to join the first team, and saw myself in both the team and league windows.  I was able to participate in league chat prior to the iTrial.  Eventually, my friend would say something like, "30 seconds before we start."  I sat and waited for the LFG prompt... only for it to never come, and I'll watch everyone else in the league disappear into the ether.

 

This happened to a friend of mine as well a couple of months ago.

 

It seems to be utterly random.  It's never happened to me prior to last week (although I don't do many iTrials), and even then it's sporadic, not every trial.

This happened to me on a DFB back in October or November so its an issue that goes back a ways.  Just saying its not related to any new patches.

Can confirm, this happens fairly randomly.  My guess is the prompt is a single send from server side with no confirm that it was received by client.  Hence if there are any network issues at all, you won't get it.  Horrible way to do communications protocols, IMHO.  If something is important like this, the program should always send and confirm.
