Hi @solonex2000 , very unfortunate to hear that you are running into this problem.
We are also running into the same issue regarding matchmaking.

We have noticed, once a lobby has 5 players, every other player trying to join this lobby will get the matchmaking error.

Can you kindly answer the following:

  1. Can you play with < 5 players in a public match
  2. Can you play in a private match (party only)
  3. Can you also kindly share your island settings, the Max Players, Teams, Teams Size. (E.g. do you use Free for all, team index etc)
