PS5 Redsec matchmaking not working with Crossplay OFF
I am experiencing a matchmaking issue in Redsec mode on PlayStation 5 that started suddenly on December 18.
Platform: PlayStation 5
Mode: Redsec
Crossplay: OFF
Timeline:
Until December 18 around 01:00 (Asia time), matchmaking worked normally.
Asia server (no VPN): match found
North America West server (using VPN): match found
From around December 18 ~10:00 onward, matchmaking no longer works at all when Crossplay is OFF.
Reproduction steps:
PS5, Redsec, Crossplay ON
Result: Matchmaking works on Asia server
PS5, Redsec, Crossplay OFF, Asia server (no VPN)
Result: No matchmaking
PS5, Redsec, Crossplay OFF, North America West server (with VPN)
Result: No matchmaking
PS5, Redsec, Crossplay OFF, Europe server
Result: No matchmaking
Additional notes:
Network, NAT type, and console settings have not changed
Issue occurs regardless of VPN usage
The same setup worked normally until early morning on December 18
This appears to be a server-side matchmaking or backend change affecting PS5 Redsec queues when Crossplay is OFF
Please check if there was any backend or matchmaking logic change affecting PS5 players using Crossplay OFF in Redsec mode.
