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
