- @Montaignes Im also on Series X by the way
- @Jeffster111 I've read every thread on this. Apparently a few days ago there were some EA server issues. My best guess is that someone rebuilt the server and missed applying some update which considers all clients out of date and renders them all ineligible to connect. Check out the main thread on this - this community manager is asking for more detailed input.

- Which mode has this happened in? All Modes now

- Summarize your bug Cannot join any multiplayer game/gardenops

What type of Issue: I cant load into any game mode at all and get the same error message telling me "There are no available matches meeting your criteria." "Please try again later."
Which Mode has this happened: All of the them.
Which part of the mode: Don't know what your referring to here, but I am unable to load into any lobby for any of the game modes.
Summarize your bug: I am unable to load into any multiplayer lobby for any of the game modes at all and get shown the same error message on screen "There are no available matches meeting your criteria." "Please try again later." I will attach a photo of this error below.
How often does this bug occur: Literally every time I try to play the game everyday. I try everyday numerous times throughout the day and it doesn't work. I get shown the same error message "There are no available matches meeting your criteria." "Please try again later."
How can we find the bug ourselves: By trying to load into a lobby and seeing the error code on screen. Like I said earlier, it isnt an issue regarding player count because I know for a fact that there are tons and tons of people still playing and will continue to play once this issue is fixed. A day before the issue began for me, I was logging into full lobbies in seconds.
What happens when the bug occurs: I get the same, "There are no available matches meeting your criteria." "Please try again later," error message on screen and am completely unable to play any game mode.
What steps have I taken to resolve the issue: I have uninstalled the game and reinstalled, I have cleared my xbox's cache, I have restarted my xbox numerous times, I tried on other consoles, friends who also play have the same issue on their consoles as well. Nothing works. The only thing left to do is to bring this to the attention of EA to create a resolution in the form of a patch update so we can go back to playing this masterpiece of a game.

I completely understand, thank you for looking into it! Here is my report:
- Product: PvZ Garden Warfare 1
- Platform: XBox and PlayStation
- Which console generation do you have? SeriesX and PS5
- What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/EA ID? Montaigne (XBox) and Montaignes (PSN)
- Date/time issue first occurred? Started observing the error Monday Dec 11th after 9pm PST.
- What type of issue do you have? All multiplayer game lobbies across both XBox and PSN fail to launch and return the same error popup: "Matchmaking Failed. There are no available matches meeting your criteria. Please try again later."
- Which mode has this happened in? All 10 multiplayer modes: Welcome Mat, Team Vanquish, Gardens & Graveyards, Classic Team Vanquish, Classic Gardens & Graveyards, Mixed Mode, Gnome Bomb, Vanquish Confirmed!, Suburbination, and Taco Bandits.
- Which part of the mode? Unable to join ot create a new lobby for any mode.
- Summarize your bug: Start GW1, attempt to enter or start a new lobby for any of the 10 multiplayer game modes, observe error popup.
- How often does the bug occur? 100% repro, every time.
- Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Start GW1 on Xbox or PSN, attempt to join any multiplayer game mode by selecting the "Search for Game" button. Also can repro by joining with multiple people at the same time to rule out the "not enough players" theory. Observe that you cannot even create an empty lobby.
- What happens when the bug occurs? 100% of the time the user will observe a brief popup that displays "MATCHMAKING. Looking for really great sessions..." and then after 20 seconds exactly the error will display "Matchmaking Failed. There are no available matches meeting your criteria. Please try again later "
- What steps have you taken on your end to resolve the issue? I have fully uninstalled and re-installed GW1 on both the SeriesX and PS5. I have verify my accounts are good by purchasing card packs. I have fully powered down the SeriesX and PS5 and rebooted. I have disconnected from my gigabit wifi and reconnected. I have played other multiplayer games like Diablo4 to ensure my multiplayer connectivity is good. I have checked my "Stickerbook" to verify all consumables are still present on the accounts and nothing was missing. I have attempted to change outfits and abilities on my characters through the "Characters" menu and that all operates correctly as well.
Thank you for taking the time to look into this. Please let me know if you have any questions or I can help in any other way. Below are the error screenshots from both SeriesX and PS5. Yes, I have maxed out Level 313 accounts on both.
