I had the same issue today. I used five dark marks and only got two Aragog chains. The second chain crashed during the first encounter. This was especially frustrating because it was toward the end of the event and I only needed the last task (I had 16 of 20 Aragog fragments).
I often have problems where right before my last strike on the 3rd in the chain, I get sent back to the map. It bothers me but I've never complained. Today it happened after using 2 health, 1 estimulo and 1 potent estimulo in a Narcissa fight where she dodged constantly even though I have completed all the Adversary lessons. I also have an issue with my game freezing half the time I approach a greenhouse or inn. I have a brand new phone and a good signal connection.
I was kicked out of an adversary battle. I had progressed through the two guards and I was fighting Fenrir Grayback. I was almost finished, as Fenrir's energy level was at 147. I still had more that 100 left in my energy level. I was not attacked, the encounter simply stopped and I was back on the maps page. I did not get any kind of error message.
I don’t wanna discourage gameplay but the kick out during adversary and also fortress battles are not anything Niantic can fix (unless the game would buffer ahead like a video on Netflix). This happens when your cell connection drops even for a millisecond. We put a connect connection graph on the game and saw this happen 100% of the time. As long as your connection farts, burps or blinks you will get booted. This is a problem with many many games and not unique to HPWU.
Used an EDM today. Got kicked out of two out of three chains -in the first foe ( Peter Pettigrew chain) and second foe in the Lockhart chain. Completed Fenrir. Have had EDM refunded but reporting to show this issue is still ongoing.
Got kicked out of Narcissa's 2nd guard (Dark Witch). I have a theory of what may have been going on - the "dodge" bug caused an irresolvable inconsistency between the server and the app.
I was 1 hit away from finishing the Dark Witch and I used Strong Exstimulo and Wit to work around the DWD bug on Narcissa (DWD lesson does not work if you use potions in the same turn). Dark Witch dodged and then I crashed out of the encounter after the next hit. My guess is that the app thought that the foe dodged, but the server thought that she did not dodge, and I should be fighting Narcissa now. Normally when the dodge bug happens the app just adjusts the health bar to match the state of the server. In this case the app thought that I was still fighting the guard, but the server decided I was already on the Archfoe. Adjusting the health bar cannot resolve this inconsistency -> crash.
After I got thrown on the map I noticed that I used only one dose of each potion (I had 4 exstimulo and 3 wit doses left).
I have been kicked out of so many adversary battles now after wasting energy and potions getting super close to killing the last one then bam I’m kicked out and I get nothing for it
I was just in the middle of fighting Lockhart and turned on a regular exstim & wit. He was also the last adversary of an edm. He hit me first. Then I used one cast of the potions and was waiting for my next attack. Just after he hit me, the encounter kind of paused and whoosh....Disappeared. :(
Was in my first foe of the 3rd EDM encounter (Peter Pettigrew chain). I defeated the foe but he reappeared on the screen and I got the "It's been too long since you've taken action against this foe" message and was kicked back out to the main game page. If this a connectivity issue, might I suggest that such occurrances be treated as if the user has attempted to end the encounter and display an exit confirmation message? If the user does not confirm the intent to exit the encounter, return them there instead of to the main game page.
@CRSMiami, do you remember if you finished it with a critical hit? I wonder if inconsistency between the app and the server plays a large part in this bug. If the app thought you did a crit and finished the foe, but the server thought it wasn't a crit and the foe was still alive, then the app may not know how to handle this.
While battling 3rd foe (Narcissa M), and after spending a Wit Po, Strong Extim and Healing Po I was kicked out right before I defeated her. How do I get the potions back - what Help channel do I use?
I have now had this issue of adversaries disappearing mid battle twice in two days. This loss of edible dark marks and wasted spell energy is very frustrating.
I have used multiple edible dark marks only to have advasRies disappear mid battle. I have wasted dozens of spell energetic 6 wit potions, 10 strong estilliomos and biased on a dozen dada books. Pleases compensate and fix the issue or remove advasaries until it is fixed
I've lost count of the number of times this has happened to me. Having just wasted two potions and only seen Peter Pettigrew a small number of times, I decided to come here and look into it. Glad to see I am not alone, but very frustrated that this has been going on since December with no improvement. Why no recompense for the wasted potions at the very least?
This problem is driving me crazy, I keep getting thrown out of adversary encounters constantly. I just ate a dark mark and was thrown out of two of three encounters. It seems to be random, I can get thrown out in any of the three adversaries in the chain. In the past I have gotten a wireless network error, but not today. Today I once received an error that it had been too long since taking action immediately after I had defeated the first adversary. The second encounter I just got thrown out with no error, and I was able to compete the third encounter. I would say in general I get thrown out of around half of my adversary encounters. This is getting extremely frustrating because I'm wasting a ton of potions and edible dark marks.
This isn’t the first time happening. I battled the snatcher and the mummy, had the dragon down to 900+ health, I had around 200 health and it vanished. No “you have been defeated”, no rewards, no sense of accomplishment defeating a dragon.
While driving with my wife today I had her stop at a local church because l I had just grabbed an adversary. As we pulled into the church I noticed my wifi had connected and I disconnected from WiFi before proceeding because we’ll just because. The fight abruptly ended after I left the wifi I had the inadvertently joined. Mind you I picked up the adversary while on cellular and it connected to the wifi after that point. I see no reason why it dumped me from the fight at the point that I disconnected from the wifi.
I was just kicked out of three adversary encounters in three different locations. I have read about this happening to other people, but this is the first time I have experienced it since adversaries started. This is making me nervous with the event beginning tomorrow.

I’ve been kicked out of several adversary battles during this event. Very frustrating.

Same issue. My edibles lead to three adversaries but at the second one, it just disappeared.
Adversaries disappear at the second fight and send back to Home Screen. I thought it happened when I went to use a potion but it’s random.

@Senet, In the app go to Settings, then Help/Legal, then Get Support, then chat icon in the upper right corner.
Using an edible dark mark, both chains, one on the first adversary and one on the second, ended abruptly and then kicked me back to the map.
I did receive rewards for the adversaries that I completed.
Using iPhone XS, iOS 14.4.

Same here. Kicked out.
my fourth time within a month
Most of the time happens when my iPhone is in weak WiFi and switching between WiFi and 4G.

@Tandia77 you can ask support to replace lost potions, I don't know whether or not they actually replace them, but may be worth a try.
Go to Settings, then Help/Legal in lower-right corner, then Get Support, then chat icon in the upper right corner.
Just dropped a dark mark and the first Adversary in the first chain disappeared on me. It was the spider from the Horntail chain.
@Laurad1066 if you haven't finished the first guard then restarting the game usually brings it back.
This was said to be fixed on 2.17
Just got part way though a battle and kicked back to map loosing potions.

I experienced the same issue. Apparently not fixed.
@blu3footed when was the last time you saw this bug? I haven't seen it since upgrading to 2.17.0.

Just happened again!
