For the past several days trying to launch a multiplayer Gardens and Graveyards on the original Garden Warfare on Xbox One results in “There are no available matches meeting your criteria. Please try again later”. 2 days ago I kept trying over and over and after about an hour I got a match and there were about 20 people in the match and I was ok the rest of that session. Since then no luck. Any idea what’s up?

I am having the same problem since December 10th or 11th is there any update or solution?

@EA_Shepard Hey! I appreciate you taking the time to look into this for us, but I don’t believe that it is a matter of lack of players. Even an hour before the issue started for me a few days ago, I found a match in mere seconds and it was full to the brim with players. I am always able to find a match in seconds literally playing for years. This game has a great amount of players for sure. Regardless, keep us posted my friend. Thanks!

@Wookieman135 This has been happening to me for the past 30 minutes.

Thur Dec 14th 10am PST, XBox Series X. At worst, the game should allow me to start a new lobby - it doesn't allow lobby creation for ANY game mode. This is a server problem preventing players from joining at all. Prior to this error I was regularly in full 12v12 lobbies. Please escalate this problem to a higher development manager who will not just dismiss your concern with saying there are not enough players as this isn't true. None of the game modes start a new lobby. This is a live showstopper bug - please escalate this.To test, have at least 5 of your testers attempt to join at the same time. It will allow none of them to connect proving your assertion wrong that it's a not enough players issue.In another thread I mentioned this very same error occurred across the entire community, all platforms, a few years ago too and it was eventually resolved with a server patch. Some people report some kind of versioning error when a server build is made that doesn't allow so-called "out of date" clients.I was at PopCap as a developer during the launch of GW1 and have regularly played it for the last 10 years. I have maxed out Xbox one and PS accounts for GW1; there is a very loyal and active fan base for this title.

Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 1. Unable to log on to welcome mat classic game or I can log on then I'm only one in the game.(waiting for players to join) but no one does... ☹️
Since Sunday no gaming experience for me in USA. I have reset PS. Re booted router. Cleaned the disc. Signed out/signed in.
Seems like classic welcome mat is DOA?
