Has anyone else had a problem recently where you can't find games and people don't join your games? The last few nights I've been playing with a friend and every few games no one will join our lobby. Even after we put down an SOS beacon.
This was happening before the PSN situation, so I'm assuming it's not just a low player count, but is an actual bug.
For me - I have a problem where people stop joining after a certain amount of time. Fresh start? People join up instantly, but by the time we get to the 3rd mission, if someone drops there's a 90% chance that seat never gets refilled, SOS or not.
Yeah I think lobbies can just get bugged. I've had some success in the past having friends quit the lobby and then reinviting once you're the only one left. But that doesn't seem to be working lately with the issue I'm seeing where it can be bugged from the start.
One of the patch notes suggested changing your settings in mixed mode match making. Start an easy session and then call in sos. Once you start to get people to join, it might be fixed. Worked for me at the time
I've tried turning off and on cross play, and also making it friends only and public again - but no luck. Is that what you mean by changing your settings in mixed mode match making?
yeah, did you try the call in sos thing?
Yeah, even with the beacon down no one joins. This has happened to me a few times and then all of a sudden the party will get filled like half an hour into a mission. Makes me think there's some technical issue going on that gets resolved eventually.
I hope it gets fixed, bummer man
I have the inverse problem: on average, 4/5 games that I try to join are already full
Yeah, I gave up on trying to join games by clicking on them on the map, because they fill up so fast. Quick joining has always worked though, up until recently.
It's always been like that for me. Sometimes people join, sometimes they don't. Most of the time when they do it's after I select a mission and we're still on the ship, once in game for some reason it's a lot rarer that people join
I accidentally threw a SOS beacon a couple of days ago. Luckily, no one joined.
