I was having the same issue last night.
How many teams do you have on your islandsettings?
I just read you cannot have more than 16 teams, or it might bug. I think that is my issue at the moment, and I’m testing this. Do you have more than 16 teams?

3

Think I only have 9 or 8, nowhere near 16 at least.

Any update on this? I’m still getting matchmaking errors on public and private versions.

make sure you this setting didn’t default to something else. Go to island settings > Mode > Matchmaking Settings, and ensure that “minimum players” and “overtime player target” are both set to 1. If this was helpfull, I would appreciate you checking out my Zonewars map 2689-4440-6334.

Yep already have that set. It’s just something Epic need to fix on their servers.

Looks like the same as the one I linked below if you want to vote on that.

It seems to be on and off, also region specific maybe, I had some people try it and it worked for them, but not for me (Europe region).

hi @flyingpigbaby and all,
The island 7142-4719-9129 has failed matchmaking 15:00 GMT and loaded 17:46 must be transient

Look at the fact that the next update has been loaded and so the network is being tested/stressed by all the devices that need update.

This is one of those “invisible” update, but just check an android phone and you will see this is big 3.7GB.

Looks to me like the European servers are slower and that because in Europe the children’s summer holidays starting all over Europe, it can be 46 Degrees C, !20 deg F (usa) They will play even more :sunny: :rofl:

Sadly it seems if BR is slow perhaps they take resources from Creative Islands.

How comes another 3 v 3 island fails, but a 5 V 5 island will load and run? no one has an answer for that!
