Summary

I’m unable to join my own Fortnite island via public matchmaking. The island is published, visible, and matchmaking is set to Party Choice. I can join it in a private session without any issues. However, when I attempt to join a public match, it hangs for about 16 seconds and then returns “Matchmaking Error 1.” Despite this, the island shows that players are currently active, which suggests the map is live ,but I’m still unable to connect to the public session.

hi @MrMcCain ,
This is exactly the same as my previous post, it’s come back, it’s a regression
Regression in 37.00 - 36.10 Matchmaking fails every time error #1 constant on Island 3815-8254-6961

There was no fix listed, just started working.
Needs a few more votes and fails Nintendo and Android as well!.

Select Private on any console works. Public matchmaking fails
