This post covers matchmaking problems about:
-
- The download % loading bar not showing for my UEFN map
-
- % Not updating above the players head
-
- Errors if the players cancels and ready’s up again
-
- Absurd loading times causing confusion due to the above
-
- Why this is impacting my islands negatively
1 & 2. The download % bar does not show when loading into my island and only shows above the players head and can sticks at 0% causing confusion (See Clip 1), especially when longer loading times are present. (On some occasions the above head % will stay at 100% and take over 2 mins to connect with no indication of when the player will join).
Clip 1 0% Bug & Absurd loading times
Here is a clip of what the download bar should look like for all UEFN map but it does not for mine.
Clip 2 A Normal UEFN loading bar
- Already Joined Error: if a player cancels the ready up, or another player joins that players party / lobby while they are readied up it will forcing it to auto cancel the ready up.
Then when the lobby ready’s up again. It displays the Error “Already Joined this Session” as seen in Clip 3.
Clip 3 Already Joined this session error
- Absurd loading times. As shown in Clip 1 the loading time is 2mins+. This is not just me but players with above average wifi.

- This is all negatively impacting my UEFN creation. Players have reproted confusion on to what is happening with matchmaking. Without a clear indication on when they will connect to the island. They think there is a matchmaking problem and therefore cancel to re-ready up. Not knowing that when they do this they will get the “Already Joined to this Session”. After this they can’t ever connect to my island unless they restart there Fortnite or change server region. Therefore they choose not to play my map and move on.
