Matchmaking Error (#1) Only allows people to join my map on rare occasions.

Summary

I recently published my creative island ‘Escape Wick’ and it only allows players to join on random occasions. The majority of the time I get Matchmaking Error (#1) but at rare times it works fine. (This happens when attempting to join both public and private matches, alone and in a party).

Additional Notes

I already looked into the ‘Dynamic’ and ‘Custom’ team size options in the Island Settings that could interfere with matchmaking.

I was having the same issue last night.
How many teams do you have on your islandsettings?
I read you cannot have more than 16 teams, or it might bug.
So currently testing this on my island. Do you have more than 16 teams?

FORT-917183 has been created and its status is ‘Unconfirmed’. This is now in a queue to be reproduced and confirmed.

@CurtCo The team came back with some questions:

Is this still happening on your island?
Do you know the demographics for the error, like region, platform and time of day?
Could you get us a log after this happens to you?

@Flak & @CurtCo
Hi there!
This is also happening to my account. Both of my maps and islands I created.
Is there a way they could take a look at logs for same issue?

Hi @PledgedRanger , we are running into exactly same issues.
We have noticed that when we have 5 players in our map, no one else can join anymore.
The matchmaking algorithm is trying to fill this specific ‘instance’ with 5 players, but everyone gets the connection issue.
When we do a private lobby, it works, but once we hit 5 players, it doesnt anymore and completely breaks all matchmaking for that region.

Can you please let me know if you have similar issues? Are you able to play with < 5 players?

Can you also kindly share your island settings, e.g. the Max Players, Teams, Teams Size.

Thanks in advance,
Team VH
