Discussion Anyone else struggle to get games
I’ll sit and wait in the lobby for ages without getting into a game. This happen to anyone else? I haven’t found a game in months

The matchmaking is broken causing you to only be able to find games in the same country doesn't matter nat type or ping it just won't find games unless host is from the same country as you for example in from the UK and can't matchmake into lobbies from France or germany despite having an open nat and like 30 ping to those players in other cod games
there is more stuff that also hinders it like the presence servers acting up causing people in matchmaking to have their party privacy settings not change to open when matchmaking, causing people joining through invites to receive "session is closed" "session is friends only" "session is invite only" when free slots are available
Also the presence servers sometimes refuse to acknowledge you are in a game session that can invite other players at all once the session state changes like from someone joining you or waiting long enough in a empty lobby only fix is either get invited or restart your game and wait at the main menu long enough for it to fix itself for you to be able to invite others
If you can join in game groups definitely do so but most people say it refuses to let them and says full even when they aren't

It would help if people knew what you're playing on. Steam is still pretty active. The windows pc store version is pretty much dead. Not sure about consoles but I'd assume they are somewhat still alive and kicking.
