The long-awaited solo version of Elden Ring, a multiplayer roguelike spinoff from FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, has now been released. At this point in time, Elden Ring Nightreign is the second most-played game on Steam, as reported by SteamDB. Regrettably, some players are encountering problems with frame rate drops, stuttering, and launch issues, but if you’re experiencing these troubles, there might be some workarounds available. On the other hand, a few players on the Steam discussions page are having trouble with matchmaking.
Matchmaking issues in Elden Ring Nightreign: Is it broken? Or is it something else?
As a gamer diving into Elden Ring Nightreign, I’ve found that this multiplayer adventure is tailored best for a team of three, taking on the formidable bosses FromSoftware has crafted. However, if you prefer a solo journey, it’s doable, but it seems like it requires a bit more balance, as noted in Gamepressure’s review by Maciej Bogusz. For those who don’t have two friends to join or prefer multiplayer, the search for fellow adventurers will be essential.
On the Elden Ring Nightreign’s Steam discussion forum, you’ll find many gamers seeking teammates for their adventure. You have the choice to set up your own group within the game or jump into the matchmaking queue, allowing the system to pair you with other players at random. Unfortunately, some players are finding themselves stuck in a lengthy queue, with others already expressing dissatisfaction and labeling the matchmaking as broken. At this point, there’s been no official word from Bandai Namco or FromSoftware regarding a fix for this issue.
It appears that the multiplayer aspect of Elden Ring Nightreign might be experiencing issues due to a large number of three-person friend groups among its 300,000 Steam players. Many players haven’t been prompted to explore solo play or team up with random players because there’s no in-game chat feature, leading to a potential surplus of two-player teams searching for a third over single players entering matchmaking. Given that FromSoftware has acknowledged oversight in the game’s lack of a two-player option, it might be wise for those interested in solo play to hold off or take on the challenging bosses alone and see if they can find success.
