Summarize your bug When cross-paly is OFF I'm unable to join a match. The game is stuck on a matchmaking screen for 3-5 mins and after that, it just cancels matchmaking ("waiting for players to join" screen). This occurs every time in every game mode.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? On a next-gen console turn cross-paly OFF and try to find a match on the North America server.
What happens when the bug occurs? When cross-play is OFF matchmaking doesn't work. The game is stuck on a matchmaking screen for 3-5 mins and after that, it just cancels matchmaking ("waiting for players to join" screen). This occurs every time in every game mode.
What should be happening instead? When cross-play is OFF I should be able to find a match.

X Box Series X user here. When cross-play is OFF I'm unable to join a match. The game is stuck on a matchmaking screen for 3-5 mins and after that, it just cancels matchmaking ("waiting for players to join" screen). This occurs every time in every game mode. So I'm unable to play the game. I'd appreciate any feedback from the devs regarding the matter, at least an acknowledgment of the issue. Thanks.

  • Exact same issue here. Every time I try to find a match in any mode, if cross play is off, I get stuck in waiting for players screen. 

    I’m on PlayStation 5

  • @PonPonLaska I don’t think anyone is playing with it off because they think they can’t get a game. If all console players turned it off there would be plenty of games. All console players are in crossplay matches so there’s never enough people to fill a game.
