Multiple 'Anteater' error codes upon exfil
My team and have had two runs out of the last three that resulted in an 'anteater' error code upon exfil, including the 'The results of your previous run have not been finalized.'
It happened to us once, we played again and were able to exfil fine, then our next match it happened again. The issue happens the moment our extract is finished and our screens go black. Neither time was final exfil, they were both guarded exfils. We all three get error-coded out, and shown the 'Continue Waiting' screen. We waited for around 20 minutes each time, to make sure the match is ended (both matches had <10min remaining). We could not get past the Continue Waiting screen, even after game restarts, resulting in us losing all of our stuff both runs.
This is the type of thing that causes people to stop playing the game. We lost easily over 12 hours worth of gear to a server issue, if not more. Dying to players and losing gear is one thing, playing perfectly and losing it to nothing is awful. There is genuinely no reason for us to continue playing until this is fixed, >66% chance of losing everything to quite literally nothing is not enjoyable, especially considering the matches this had occurred in were not easy matches.

I'm begging you, please make fixing this a priority, or at least think of some sort of recuperation for players affected. I've played in many playtests over the last year, I love this game, but this one bug has completely ruined it for me as well as others. This is the first time I've ever had overtly negative feelings towards Marathon and it really sucks. We are not the only players who have had this issue, this is an issue that is simply not acceptable in an extraction-shooter.

20 hours later and the screen is still there, so I imagine the whole server was broken. would love if this could at least be acknowledged so I could know if I should just stop playing!
