Hey

The player that disconnected, their packet in-game was lost, they're still technically connected in the chat.

Unfortunately it does happen, however they need to refresh right away.

This isn't a bug with GNW itself but player connectivity to the game.

When a player disconnections, the match is frozen for a few moments to allow the player to reconnect. If it doesn't occur, it'll force leave the player. It can take quite a bit but again, that's not a bug, It's intentional to allow a player to return.

Hopefully this brings some clearance for understanding why it seems like the match is bugged.

Hope you understand!
