### Issue Type (Required):

Matchmaking

### Issue Description (Required):

I have already tried to start or join Havoc assignments and I’m unable to do so.

I have collected my pending Havoc rewards, checked I had no other Havoc assignments running, to no avail, no game could be started by me, or when I joined a team.

Is there a way that you can work in having a more consistent error/constraint tracing for Havoc Matchmaking?

Currently you can’t really see why or who has any issue and this incredibly frustrating, to say the least.

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

### Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

### [PC] Crash Report (Optional):

Can’t reproduce the crash

@Ishar_Wyrm sorry about that. I believe you may have ran into a known Havoc terminal bug here.

When this happens, a previous strike team is shown on the left incorrectly. It’s something we’re aware of and investigating. As a workaround, cancelling the ongoing deployment should resolve this. I’ve seen mixed feedback regarding if this loses a deployment charge or not from players that have done so.

Apologies for the inconvenience.
