Summary
When closing matchmaking and a player is trying to join a closed lobby, instead of the game telling them they are trying (and failing) to join a closed MM game, it instead saying “Failed to join, Matchmaking Error #1”. However, this may happen also in other cases where the player is trying to access a game in discovery and getting that message, so we cant distinguish what is happening and whether this issue is the same as this one (which shouldnt be a case, because why is discovery sending a player to a closed session).
