Multiplayer Matchmaking Issues??

Anyone else having issues connecting to multiplayer modes this week? (Xbox, Europe)

I've been finding I get kicked out of the portal with "Failed to connect to game session" or "Failed to find a match" every time I've tried Turf or Mixed.

Though there are more active lobbies in the Town Hall while it's open, if I keep trying 4 or 5 times, I've eventually got in & found pretty full lobbies - and I didn't have any issues last week 🤔

  • I had some issues last weekend on GW2 and BfN (especially BfN) where it would boot me out of the portal or even mid-match in BfN. Didn't have the issue in GW1 though. It was ok last night on PC (NA east) on GW2 but BfN still randomly boots me out of matches in the middle of the game which is highly annoying, and is usually accompanied by the 'host has ended the game session' message which only makes it more frustrating.

    Had to report a hacker (with screenshot) in GW2 last night who was playing as that pirate gargantuar boss in a TT match but when I came back they were gone and was able to play a few matches with no issues. 

    I get random spotty lobbies in all 3 games from time to time, so not sure if there was a specific issue last weekend, or if it was just that cyclical issue I've seen for years.

  • @Iron_Guard8 Yep, I've seen it before too, usually on busy weekends but had it again last night, so was curious if it was widespread & on other platforms.
    Annoying & as you say, I don't have those sort of issues with GW1 either.

    Wow, I've never seen those kind of hacking issues on Xbox 😱 Worst I've come across in GW2 is abuse of glitches, such as finding yourself being killed by someone you can't attack back because they're stuck underneath the floor or above a ceiling 🥴😂

    The main disadvantage of playing on PC are the hackers. I don't encounter them all that much, but they're definitely a thing. When they're not around though you can get some great matches in all 3 games, at least in TT, and seeing lots of new folks in GW2 which is a great thing for sure.

    I notice those terrain glitches and bug issues more in BfN than either GW game, like cacti hiding inside the wall and sniping, which is not a fun time. 

  • @Iron_Guard8 No, not much fun for you!
    These GW2 glitches are a rare occurrence thankfully & I've only come across them a few times in thousands of hours play.

    I've also been glitched out underneath the floor myself & it seems to happen in just a couple of areas on a couple of maps - and you have to be caught a certain way by an ability explosion such as Mech Escape, so special set of circumstances needed fortunately!
