If this is anything like the last error just start a normal AOW CQ match and when the map is locked in just exit the countdown and you should be ok
- Psubond3 years agoLegend@TTZ_Dipsy That works sometimes. This is really unacceptable to need a work around just to play a mode.
I will not pretend that this sort of thing is normal just to get to play. I only have so much free time and wasting upwards of 10 min between matches is ridiculous I've been having the same issues but so far better luck if I try to join through Portal vs Main Menu
- @TTZ_Dipsy This doesn't actually work it lets you re q but still takes you back to the main menu after the countdown then it has the error again if you try to q
- ATFGunr3 years agoLegend@Psubond I get that in various game modes, with the only option to choose a different play mode and try again later. It’s over a year in and this randomly keeps coming up. Why do we constantly have to keep coming up with fixes and work arounds for a AAA game??

I haven't checked the error code. But, I bet it's "invalid game state". This is the same issue that happens when you attempt to join a Portal server where a match just ended and its rotating maps. Kludgy design.
I have been having the same issue with Breakthrough occasionally, there are multiple threads about it over in the bug reports and technical issues forums.

I played about 3 rounds during my lunch break and I didn't get the error.

Hi all,
This Breakthrough matchmaking issue is being tracked here.
Possible workaround: when you get the Matchmaking Failed error, you can queue up for a different game mode > cancel after a few seconds > go back to the Retribution game mode & matchmake > you should be able to find a match.

Hi everyone,
Because the time-limited Retribution game mode is no longer available, we are closing this thread.
The general Breakthrough matchmaking error is still being tracked via the other AHQ thread.
Thanks.
