"Remote Parties have Restarted the Matchmaking Process"
Well, this is a pretty big issue on the Epic and XBOX forums, but online play is almost impossible for some of us. Just wondering how many of you are having the matchmaking issues. I've been able to play 1 online match that wasn't an invite. Once you start the process it tries to match you up for about a minute then flips back to "remote parties have restarted the matchmaking process" over and over
Yes, NAT is open. Yes, the routers is open. Yes, all other games including GEARS1 work fine online. I just caught today that Epic has acknowledged this in their FAQs:
"Q: Slow Matchmaking – Why does it take so long for matchmaking to find me a game?
A: This is an issue that’s affecting some folks, and Epic and Microsoft are both looking into it. I'll let you know more details as I have them. In the mean time, try to go back to the dashboard and use it to test the network connection. Re-sign in to see if you have better results. This has worked for some people for the time being."
The first match I got into was after a 16 minute wait. One other time after about 20 minutes it "matched" me with teammates then I waited fruitlessly for another 15 minutes while it was trying to find "an opposing team of similar skill"
I tell you, this is driving me up the wall. I played through the Gears1 campaign twice, but I played it online regulary for about 6-8 months. If I can't get online it's a sell-back eventually. Honestly though, the campaign is light years ahead of GEARS 1, I will give it that. It's a damned fun game.
