[AWARE] Can't Matchmake - Says I Need to Join a Party First

Started to have an issue where I can no longer even search for a 'casual breakthrough' match. It started with an error code that said I had to be in a party. I restarted the game and tried again. No error code did the 'search' button was greyed out and I was unable to even try to search for a game. I verified game files and no luck... any chance someone else has also had this issue?
