In the UK on domestic Broadband this fails as described getting Network Error on Android and connecting then falls back to lobby try again Just Connecting.
The main reason is EPGL is updating to 39.11 on PC.
When trying to open same island on a Gigabit connection using Wi-Fi 6 at three time domestic broadband could play no problem, leave join fine.
Obviously there are loads of people updating, but even the watching the download there a periods of several seconds where there is 0 bps a big stall from download servers and watching Wi-Fi network there is nothing therefore not long after the Android give network error and cannot connect again.
IMHO its the Epic Servers unable to cope with all the network traffic which is updating and serving games
Will start and run in Android. When you click the Favorite button, then jump out to community,
Then come back the display
There was a Problem
Server stopped responding to connection, FailedToConnect
[errors.com.epicgames.common.processing]
after clicking OK, went to
Then 39.11 Winter Fest screen, went in got present, left Lodge, returned to lobby
clicked play again works fine in U.K UTC Europe servers
Works as well and gives out XP
