I also have a large map, and I have the same problem. I was going to make a separate post, but apparently this one should suffice.

We need this fixed asap.
My island had pretty healthy player numbers, nothing big but enough to keep it alive.
Now it’s completely dead during EU hours and there’s a fraction of NA players.

I just wanted to kindly ask if there are any updates on this issue so far. It has now been about 5 days since the response “Getting the team to take a look,” and more and more creators seem to be reporting the same problem.
Even after today’s small update as well as the season update a few days ago, the issue is still happening with no change. I was hoping it might have already been addressed.
The problem is still consistently occurring, and players are often placed into empty sessions unless they manually join someone who is already in-game. From my observations, this seems to happen mainly on EU servers.
This is especially difficult for us creators, as we build experiences for players to play together and have fun. Due to this issue, some players are gradually losing the motivation to keep trying.
Any updates or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your support!

I keep getting DMs from players everyday, they queue into my island and are put in a new lobby every single time.
They’re getting discouraged from trying anymore, I’m permanently losing players for something I’m not even risponsible for. We need answers please.

Thanks god its not just me.
On my map, the lobby “allows” like 10 players to join and after that no one will ever join that lobby, even though the max player limit is set to 40

Come on guys, anyone, I have managed to test it and find the cause in 10 minutes and you are telling me no one has the time to recreate a bug that has been around for more than 2 weeks that affects most if not all creative maps in the europe region ?? How does that make sense, epic is literally losing money because of this, some communication would be nice.

Brand new map nothing changed at all, that proves that it’s not settings but actually matchmaking if it wasn’t obvious enough
Edit: Ignore the other friend that is joining the island on the left, I was testing if they would join a new lobby or either of the accounts
