FromSoftware has confirmed ongoing matchmaking issues in Elden Ring: Nightreign, leading to significant delays that players find frustrating.
Issues Reported
Many players have noticed the matchmaking process taking an unreasonable amount of time or failing altogether. As a workaround, the best approach suggested is to form a complete team of three before attempting to matchmake.
Suggested Solutions
In its communications, FromSoftware suggested that players restart the matchmaking process if they encounter delays. However, this appears to be an inadequate solution as various users on platforms like Twitter have reported it not alleviating the problem.
In addition, another recommendation specific to PlayStation users involves adjusting their NAT connection type.
“Nightfarers, if you encounter issues finding other players when launching an expedition in #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN, please try restarting the matchmaking process. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
Translation: Players are advised to be patient and restart their matchmaking attempts.
Community Feedback
Feedback from players indicates that issues are not confined to a single platform. Reports on social media reveal similar long waiting times for Xbox and PC users as well.
Participants from the community suggest that while logging in has been stable, the matchmaking itself remains sluggish. Many gamers are aware of the substantial player base, which has exceeded 2 million in the first 24 hours since launch, yet they are still experiencing connectivity frustration.
Until a proper fix is implemented, players may want to further explore the game or utilize mods that enable duo play, such as Yui’s Seamless Co-op mod, to facilitate their gaming experience.
