Problems with Elden Ring Nightreign server network? Coop matchmaking on PC and PS5 seems to be broken, but there is a solution

by

Despite Elden Ring: Nightreign not being FromSoftware’s top-rated game, it doesn’t mean it’s a poor production overall. Quite the contrary, our reviewer found it quite enjoyable. It’s no surprise that it has attracted hundreds of thousands of players. This game offers a fresh take on its genre by emphasizing cooperative multiplayer, though you can also play alone if you prefer. However, with online features come potential issues, such as server-related problems. In this case, many users have encountered difficulties with matchmaking. Fortunately, FromSoftware appears to have a straightforward solution to address these concerns.

Problems with Elden Ring Nightreign server network

Currently, a number of Elden Ring Nightreign players are experiencing issues with finding matchmaking partners. This problem appears to be particularly prevalent on PC and PS5/PS4 platforms, as we haven’t received any reports from Xbox users. Interestingly, it doesn’t seem to be the standard disconnection error that was encountered during testing. Instead, players find themselves unable to locate others to play with, which is unusual given the high number of active players in the game – over 160,000 on Steam alone. So, what could be causing this? From Software has addressed this topic in a post on their official platform.

The information below was translated by Google, as the original post is in Japanese:

Appreciation to all gamers enjoying Elden Ring Nightreign on PS4 or PS5! Should you encounter issues with matching, kindly pause the procedure and opt to sortie once more. Your understanding is much appreciated.

It appears that if your matching process takes too long, game developers suggest you might want to simply restart it. Though this advice might seem unhelpful, it’s worth a shot, right? And if that doesn’t work for you, at least we can assure you that From Software is aware of the issue. Another solution players have mentioned is to disable cross-region matchmaking. Although this seems counterintuitive, if you’re having trouble finding someone to play with, it might be worth trying.

Unfortunately, servers are experiencing a range of issues currently, with reports of lag and network errors coming in from users. Given past experiences, this isn’t entirely surprising, as large game releases often encounter server problems at launch. I can only hope that these issues will be addressed and resolved within the next few days.
