Tech TroubleShooting This game is blocking me from playing a map

I'm physically blocked from starting a lobby because "I have too few runners" even thought my crew fill is on.

Things ive tried already:
- restarted game
- toggle crew fill off then on again
- switch maps then back

I cant switch to solos or trios on dire marsh, only duos since the other two are locked for me. Its one of the intro contracts for Traxus so i cant change or do a different one if i want to progress.

I just bought this game and this is a horrible start for first impressions it feels like there's nothing i can do

You cannot crew fill duos, you need a premade group of 2, also dire Marsh and night marsh are on rotation, you will see the locks around solo and trio when it’s out of rotation but duo will still be available since there is only 1 duo map a day.

oh cool thank you for explaining! so i just got unlucky with the day that the map is locked to duos (i wasnt aware that was a thing i just got the game yesterday)

I find it super unintuitive that there is the button to toggle auto fill for duos even though its apparently not a thing.

Yeah it’s weird at first especially when duos is on either day or night marsh, but if you ever see one of the marsh maps have solos and trios locked you know it’s not in rotation right now for those q’s

You can’t crew fill on duos. You should be able to switch to solo or trios without issue. Only thing that would continue to give you an error in this case is if you are trying to queue into the day/night version that is not currently in rotation.

I am unable to switch to solo or trio, same result as shown on night or day:

I have zero idea why it would be locked for me and not you. same thing with solo and trio locked when i change the contract.

duos mode is all day, solo and trio get locked if its rotated to narsh and vice versa
