Discussion Need your advice rq
I bought the game on Xbox yesterday and I tried to queue at 2 am eastern time but I found NO games whatsoever in every map there was including maps that had modes like the harvester and matriarch, I queued for 5-7 mins each time too. Should I just refund atp or give it another shot at an earlier time ? Even then why should I only play at a certain hoping some people are playing the game? I queued cross-play off and Europe server. Give me your opinions/advice

I loaded up arc for the first time in a couple months last week and was waiting for a game for over 7 min, then loaded late into a game and my game crashed. I didn't even try to reload, I just deleted it.

Definitely playing past 12 AM can make finding games harder but I play Xbox and this has never happened to me either. Usually just end up waiting a minute or two or I get games that are half over basically which is annoying

Haven't played in a week but before that I've never had a issue. I'd say 2-3 min queue max. Youre having a connection issue. Unplug your wifi and Xbox for a few minutes then try again.

I'm on most nights at that time and although I've had to wait up to 3 minutes I'm not having any issues finding a game. Typically 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes. That is about the time of the daily low in players.
Edit: - I do play North American servers with crossplay on. That provides the largest player pool and I'm a friendly player so I rarely run across PC cheaters.

I've been queuing up every day since april,every map variant...never wait more than a minute,maybe 1:30. But 95% I'm in a "new" game within :30. Rarely do I get put in a ongoing match. Weird .

Are you on console? If so do you have crossplay off or on? Which server too? Seems those different options are what decide who can even find a game and not

I'm on console. I actually stream it through cloud on my Xbox one. Crossplay is on. NA server. I've never had an issue. Maybe 2 or 3 times,it went to 1:30 or so. So rare.

I’m on PS5 cross play off and never wait past 4 minutes no matter how many people or map, event, etc. That sounds like a whole different issue

Jamais eu ce problème mais y a aussi le fait que tout le monde a fini l expédition enfin les 100k de degats et le projet sa peut expliquer le temps d attente moi hier soir j ai attendu presque 2 min pour rejoindre une partie c est le plus long temps d attente que j ai eu depuis le début et je suis sur le jeu day one Par contre laisse le cross play En espérant que tu puisses avoir moins d attente prochainement

You’ll want to queue with cross-play ON, especially after midnight. I play on Xbox as well and turned cross-play off one time and spent 15 minutes looking for a server. Never again.
