Summary
Hello everyone,
I’m creating this post to bring attention to an issue that has been happening for several weeks now. If this has happened to you too, please upvote or comment so the team can see how common it is.
After finishing a match while playing in a party, when we try to queue for the next game, the “Ready” status becomes bugged. Even when everyone presses Ready, the game will randomly unready one or more players automatically.
We then have to cancel and press Ready again, and sometimes it keeps happening to different party members multiple times before it finally works.
Because of this, it can take 1–2 minutes just to start the next match.
This has been happening to me and all of my friends, so it doesn’t seem like an isolated issue.
If you’ve experienced this too, please upvote or share your platform/mode so Epic can investigate faster.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Matchmaking
Steps to Reproduce
After a match ends, party tries to queue again
Everyone presses Ready
One or more players get unreadied automatically
Need to cancel and try again several times
Eventually matchmaking works after multiple attempts
Expected Result
After finishing a match, all party members should be able to press Ready once and remain ready. Matchmaking should start normally without any player being automatically unreadied.
Observed Result
After finishing a match, when all party members press Ready, one or more players are randomly set to Unready automatically. The party must cancel and press Ready again multiple times before matchmaking finally starts.
Platform(s)
All, but here are the ones I’ve experienced: PC, PlayStation, Xbox.
Additional Notes
Happens in party/group play
Happening for several weeks
Not limited to one player in the party
Affects multiple friends
Causes delays of 1–2 minutes between matches
Seems random which player gets unreadied
Happens repeatedly until queue finally works
