Firestorm Matchmaking Failed on XBOX

Does anyone know why I can't find a game of Firestorm? It doesn't matter what mode I try I get the same result. When I try to find a game, a 5 min timer appears and after 5 mins I get "Matchmaking Failed, Try again Later".

I can play all other multiplayer modes with no problem. I have all the recommended ports forwarded to my XBOX. Is there a specific port I need for Firestorm?

I would appreciate any help to resolve this.

Regards, Warren.

  • Hello @wazzageek

    Try this:

    Turn off the Xbox One console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down completely.
    Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.
    Important Be sure to wait 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    Plug the console power cable back in.
    Press the Xbox button on your console to turn on the Xbox One.
    Clear Mac Address

    Clear the MAC Address: From the Xbox dashboard select Settings>All Settings>Network>Network Settings>Advanced Settings>Alternate MAC address>Clear, then restart your Xbox.
    Reboot the Network

    Unplug the modem/router power for about 5 minutes to refresh the network. A fresh connection can help clear up most basic connectivity issues.

    Thanks but I have since learnt there is an issue with the matchmaking on Australian servers which is affecting all game modes. I have been using the server browser to find games for all modes except Firestorm. The Firestorm servers don't appear in the browser so we can't play it at all in Australia.

  • players should be directly connected with an open lobby in their region directly after the matchmaking starts, if there is no open lobby in the players region, then open up a lobby ! atleast the players are IN the hangar then and can wait there.

  • Thanks for your reply but I'm not the smartest when it comes to X Box..How do U open up a lobby
