Hi @AtAshTag and all

When trying to ping, the remote server (RemoteAddr: 18.157.41.176:15030,) fails, looks to me like an outage on the AWS server, like it’s just like yesterday, 21st October.

Failed to find a server through matchmaking: Error: player.queueing\_failure.208

Epic Support said previously

The “player.queueing\_failure.208” error in Epic Games, likely encountered in games like Fortnite, **indicates a failure during matchmaking, often caused by server overload, network issues, or corrupted game files**. To fix it, first check the **[Epic Games server status](https://status.epicgames.com/)** and try restarting the game and your internet connection. If the problem persists, verify the game files on PC or try clearing the console cache.

I posted on this previously

[Matchmaking Error player.queueing\_failure.208 : can’t join island - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/matchmaking-error-player-queueing-failure-208-can-t-join-island/2540149/2)

Its either the network or the Server gone offline, this is possibly another related problem

investigating - After monitoring, our recent fix didn’t work as intended.
Rocket League Matchmaking and Game Services are still experiencing issues.
We're continuing to work towards a fix.
