Yesterday (April 3, 2026), the new Bot Royale Evolved was working fine. Played games all day long on it.
Today (April 4, 2026), the server never starts up. It just constantly says:
Starting Server, Matchmaking..., Starting Server, Matchmaking..., Starting Server, Matchmaking...
over and over and over. What changed between yesterday and today?
Glad to hear you talk about your ability level. I just can't compete with 20 squads of humans either. I just solo queue and it always ends badly. The new Bot Royale seems to offer a game where there's just a few other squads of people of similar ability level, while not being overwhelmed by 19 three-stacks that instantly demolish my team.
Just logged in today and the issue seems to be fixed now. I wonder if E-District doesn't play well with that game mode. Guess we will see the next time E-District comes around.
I had this issue too, was in a party and the whole party couldn’t get out of the matchmaking/ starting server loop. Since 6pm yesterday and it’s 8am now…..
im not a strong enough gamer for FPS to just play real people only. I’ve tried everything on my end to help (cleared cache from PlayStation, checked for updates on game and console, switched servers, deleted game and reinstalled) so it has to be EA server.
6 hours later, same issue persists.
Last cycle with e district worked fine albeit very laggy. LTM interference maybe? Or related to the April Fools update?
Just noticed this as well: The game says: "1 Player in Queue", then "2 Players in Queue" and then it starts the endless loop of: Starting Server, Matchmaking..., but it doesn't start that loop until there are "2 Players in Queue".
Only difference I can think of between yesterday and today was that the map changed to E-District. Has that map been tested with Bot Royale? Does it break the game mode?
