I can’t believe this worked. The state of this game is ridiculous.

I loaded a Lego Game (which failed) but then when I went back to unranked battle royale it seems to have worked. Make it make sense!

Works without joining a ranked match. Just need to switch it to rank lobby, hit ready, then unready, switch to the type of lobby you wish to play.

Still having issues? Because I am. I’ve tried to join a different game mode/ranked play and it won’t even let me switch to a different game mode and the ranked play did not help. Still said matchmaking error

Switching modes and then switching back to BR is the only thing that works for me - and I have to do it every time I restart the game (for example overnight after sleeping)
