I'm sure this is an issue that has been flagged up before, but when I begin matchmaking for either Fleet Battles or Dog Fights it takes multiple attempts to find a match. I wait ten minutes and it comes up with a message saying that a match could not be found (Error 1,066).
Im having the same problem and it seems worse when trying to matchmake with a friend. If I search for dogfights solo seems to find lobbies quicker than when me and my buddy try to find a game together. This is an amazing game but IM SO PISSED. I sit here for an hour to play 15 to 20 minutes of gameplay. Super frustrating. EA had simillar problems match making in Battlefront 2. Does EA just have terrible buggy lobby protocols!?
Well, have I got some (hopefully) good news for you! If you go into the game settings and turn on 'cross play', it actually finds a game. Only downside is that you kind of have to activate it - even if you'd rather not play with cross play. Until matchmaking is improved, this seems like the only solution. Could you please let me know if this worked for you? Thanks.
Yip its the cross play, on PS4 make sure that cross play is switched on. This way you and friend can play online in game. Even if you and your friend have PS4's cross play has to be on.
Everytime I try to play with my friend we can very rarely connect to a game lobby and only ever dogfights. Just sits there for 10 minutes and times out with an error 1066 message. Havent been able to play a fleet battle once.
