I understand it is in Beta, so the number of players must be limited for various reasons, but as it stands it is still fairly difficult to do multiplayer outside of a few certain hours.
I cannot seem to joing multiplayer as a Raider or Antagonist after like 9 PM CST as there just aren't enough players in the Beta.
I know it's a Beta and whatnot but if possible please invite more players or give the current players some invites to give.
-
Yes! Invite me, devs!
-
i tried to sign up for the closed beta but it just take me back to the raiders Home page
-
Agreed! Didn't seem like many were on xbox one
-
Yeah also having issues with the matchmaking (prologue) it takes forever to find a match. feelsbadman
Btw Forum issue: you can't upload avatars to the forum;
"The attachments upload directory is not writable. Your attachment or avatar cannot be saved."
Someone forgot to set the upload folder permissions ;)

I agree, is hard to test the multiplayer with only a handful of players online. I'm in Australia so my gaming time often does not match up with people in other regions.
I know it is not a big effort to sign up for the beta, some people are pretty lazy though.
One idea is if people already in the beta could be given an extra couple of codes to pass on to friends? That could definitely help get more people to fill the multiplayer population.
-
I can't join any games....
There are no players? or matchmaking is broken?
-
Well, the thread is named "we need more players," so I'd guess the matchmaking isn't broken, lol.
I believe there is a problem with the beta sign-up application. I signed up for this game in December of 2016, and I never received a key until I made personal contact on the forums. I got every other email, but not the key. Gratefully, the community manager helped me with that problem!
-
Hard to say for sure EXACTLY what the cause of the problem is, but I've definitely noticed that when I do get a game, it's with at least 2/3 of the same people I was playing with before, and that matchmaking takes upwards of 15 minutes sometimes.
It COULD be a problem with the matchmaking system, but it just seems like nobody is really playing at the moment, but I guess that's beta.
-
Some means of communication (besides the radial menu) within the squad wouldn't hurt either. I've seen countless people run around clueless getting fed to the antagonist.
-
After searching for 2 hours and finding only one game (that was not accepted by some player and cancelled) i decided to quit until dev's sent more keys. It's kinda of a joke that people can't play because of no players, but my friend can't play because dev's not sending keys...

Welll I could be entirely wrong as well. Matchmaking works, but takes AGES.
I think alot of players also play through the mainn missions once and call it a day, rather than try multiple chars or try Antagonist. They could also just play everything Solo and be done. We don't have enough people playing multiplayer during the tests really.
As for this weekend, it was also Memorial Day Weekend so alot of people were also out of town
-
Yep we have had matchmaking issues which we are fixing. Hopefully the matchmaking will improve in the next sessions and more players are signing up, so with these combined should see quicker match ups.
-
Sounds like bunches more people have been invited to the game, as well! 😀
-
Sounds like it is worse than before. Hours of matchmaking with no result in all maps and modes selected... And since my friend who registered from several accounts long time ago, but still haven't recieved a single key to play with me - i understand why exacly that happens. Is it really that hard to sent more keys, so at least few players could play this game? You can't test online game if there is no players.
-
Pss... Elven, maybe the fact that he registered from multiple accounts is the reason he doesn't get the key? You know - cheating is bad right?
-
Idiots are way worse. He registered second one after not recieving key for month or something like that, because he believed that his main email were rejected or something, there is no other logical reason to not recieve key in that long.
-
So i'm sitting here right now. Waiting.
Any of you out there?
-
Yes, why such few invitations? I've been signed up awhile.. I get emails, no key.
Also, is there no NDA for this game? I figure there isn't because this Beta forum is visible to everyone, even people without an account.

AFAIK getting emails about the beta means you're in, you may have missed out on how to get your key. You'll have to ask the devs for it.
That is right, there's no NDA.
