### Summary

This is an issue that our QA runs every time. So they create a party to test a map code and since some of our playtesters join after playing another mode, we get Matchmaking error #2 even though everyone has permissions.

### Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Matchmaking

### Steps to Reproduce

(play BR with 3 accounts to increase occurence %)  
One account has a fresh FN launch  
Have the 3 join the party on the player that has the fresh launch that loads a playtest private code (all account have perms for that map)

### Expected Result

Players join

### Observed Result

Matchmaking error #2

### Platform(s)

PC
