    Matchmaking Join Time

    Ive noticed since the HC fix, matchmaking takes longer to find players. I would start search then have to wait at least 5 minutes for someone to join, amd takes even longer for it to fill up the lobby. Does anyone else have the same issue?

    Changing the mp settings (quicker search time) doesnt make any difference for me.

    I've never waited longer than a minute for the lobby to fill up and I've been playing MP quite a bit the last week.

    Sometimes it's really fast for me, and other times it seems like I can't get into a lobby no matter how long I wait. I can usually fix it by backing out and going back in, but if that doesn't work, I just leave it for a little while and do something else.

    Its only fast if the same players rejoin after a match. Out of like 25 matches i played today, only 5 or so were filled.

    Matchmaking Join Time

    I've only had one slow match (+1 minute), and that was before the update.

    Mine are taking considerably long to connect to games. And even when i do, they always seem to be the same people, like only 4-5 people are playing Hardcore Trials in the world at that time, surely theres more?

    The matchmaking is working, just 4-5 players with as low a skill level as you!

    It's very different how long it takes me to find a game. Sometimes right of the back, other times I have to wait a while. As of late, I get into a lot of heads up games because no more players had been found, as the search bar fills up.

    Often it happens that I get matched up with the same players back to back to back etc. In those games the players are found instantly. Does this btw mean the Rematch button actually means that a rematch will be attempted, if the players are available? Sorry, went a bit off topic there..

    I'm having the same issue. The problem is that the sliding scales for how quickly you want to find a game do not have as much effect as they should. I have both of mine on fast join, but it still takes me a solid 3-4 MINUTES per match if none of the top ranked(hidden trueskill rating-wise) players are on.
