### Summary One of my creative islands keeps getting repeating matchmaking errors even though the team size is fine and my internet. I am able to matchmake into other islands but I don’t understand why it’s happening. I remember another creator had a similar issue but they made their island not playable anymore. I prefer not to waste my creativity on this island and would like to know what is going on. All I did in previous updates was redesign the whole layout of the island due to performance issues. ### Please select what you are reporting on: Creative ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Matchmaking ### Steps to Reproduce . Load my Elemental ZoneWars . Ready up either in private or public lobby ### Expected Result It’s meant to load into my public map without any errors ### Observed Result I don’t understand why and my internet is fine but it’s causing matchmaking errors repeating randomly. Max players who can join is 16 There is 4 teams and only 4 players can join each team slot. 4x4=16 ### Platform(s) All ### Island Code 2612-8831-5686 ### Video https://www.youtube.com/embed/f-DsGxcqvQU?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque ### Additional Notes I have seen a similar matchmaking error happen to Dahja’s Joy’s Dreamworld (UEFN island) but they had to make the island not playable anymore. I prefer not to waste this island and understand why it’s happening. Thank you ---

I probably need to re-word it. Max players who can join is 16 but there’s 4 teams and only 4 people who can be placed separately in the teams. All together it’s max 16 players 4x4=16 ---

Hey everyone. Ik this is an old thread but I found something that I have not seen mentioned. Go to island settings \> Mode \> Matchmaking Settings, and ensure that “minimum players” and “overtime player target” are both set to 1. If this was helpfull, I would appreciate you checking out my Zonewars map 2689-4440-6334. ---

I’ve been having this issue as well on island 9909-6421-7669 it’s a large island with a lot of verse usually takes 3-5 times with matchmake error #1 before the island finally lets me in. ---

I’ve had the same issue on two of my maps. I’ve deduced that it’s an issue with maps converted from 1.0 to UEFN. Maybe @Flak can help us out? ---
