[Bug] Matchmaking/Lobby errors & issues
My friends and I are having serious troubles matchmaking together. We can all join a party together (albeit after much troubleshooting), but not all of us see the matchmaking progress after the leader queues us. Additionally, the person who does not see the matchmaking is left in the lobby while the rest of the party gets put into a game with a random.

bardokson Mergedi tired to leave a match during the preparation, and the game didn't load, until the match started, so i was stuck for 30 seconds.

It took a lot of attempts to party up and after that we cant start a match. -

Deadman_Laughing MergedHello,
When playing my game freezes for up to 2 minutes and then I get the matchmaking error issue.
I'v been trying to play for 1h30 and I still can't play a single mission to the end. At most I get to play 5-10 minutes before I get kicked out of the game. -

Carton MergedHave also tried matchmaking with friends, only the party leader got into a game and had to go to friends list to use the "join the game" function instead of being able to match into same lobbies.

REESEScups MergedMatchmaking is currently broken on Xbox. I loaded up the game and pressed heists, I didn’t wait for the girl to stop reading the description. I pressed MATCHMAKE on hard, and then after a minute I pressed B to quit matchmaking and instead I went back to the heist selection screen. I tried to matchmake again and it wouldn’t respond even if I did press MATCHMAKE again. It did cancel Matchmaking as I went all the way back and didn’t see Cancel, instead I saw Heists. It did the same for Very Hard, I can’t seem to get into a match. I am using an Xbox Series X that is relatively new with decent internet connection, I have not experienced any lag in the past.

MapleViking MergedIf a player fails to join a game (have not tried this with a party yet) then you can't switch your loadout or add any preplanning items for the lobby or for any lobby you join until you restart the game. Also when you go to join a new game the waiting timer just stays at 00:00 until a game is found
To recreate just load into a game and have one player fail to join

RudolphHitHer MergedWhen on the lobby where it displays your character pressing A will not work, so you cannot start a heist and pressing the 3 lines button will not allow you to open the social menu.

Teran MergedWhen matchmaking with a group of 2 players, a player in the party does not fully load (no character model) and displays as a high/currently impossible level (e.g. 1110). The person who entered the party into matchmaking loads normally. If the party backs out of matchmaking and reenters, the matchmaking button does not function.

SuperKittyStudios MergedAs seen in the image, other players can move and interact with the game. They can complete the heist, while I am completely stuck in the "Getting Ready" phase. Attempted restarts and Verification of steam files provide nothing.
Unsure how to reproduce, it just keeps happening on launch. -

Tristan MergedCurrently when I try to join a game with my friends the countdown goes to -1 and it never loads in for any of us, it says I am not ready even after I hit the ready button. It also strangely seems to bug out the character models.

Josh MergedFor some reason every time I try to matchmake and load into a lobby, some of the lobby's models are a-posing, some of the models won't even load in, and sometimes it's just a mask. I can't select anything, and when I ready up the game doesn't process that I'm ready. I'll click the ready button and it'll disappear, but my status still says "Not Ready" and when I tried doing it with a friend, he said that I wasn't ready. I hope this is helpful dev team!

MrUpsidedownington MergedI can't play a second game in my party. We got kicked out of the first party after the heist and when we go to make a new one we can't join. After a while we got to join but then can't matchmake together.

Leif MergedI want to invite my friend to a party because we were having issues. I invited once and he didn't receive it. So like any normal person i kept inviting til he got it. I'd say i hit it roughly 10-20 times. No only did he not join, every time I restart the game and log in he's immediately invited even when im still loading

Capcake MergedLobby had 2/4 players in it, Friends trying to join off of in-game freinds list resulted in a loading screen, then error lobby is full.
We starting matchmaking, found a lobby then joined off of each other. When lobby because 2/4 it wouldn't let anyone else join. If someone left, another could join. We cycled all 3 of us leaving and it wasn't related to a specific person. Odd person out got error every time, even after restarting their game or trying different lobbies. -

jeff Mergednote: i know parties are disabled. we tried *before* we knew that
I was playing fine earlier by myself. My roommate installed the beta and tried to join me, but now the game is stuck in matchmaking limbo. I keep receiving party invite notifications from him long after we stopped trying to join each other. I gave up, turned off my computer, and he is *still* receive invite notifications from me while I'm not even online anymore.
now, after several restarts, blocking each other in the social menu, etc, we are still unable to matchmake -

Pandaxa MergedI have played a Normal and Hard matches and now I am unable to start any matches, the matchmaking timer starts at 00:00 then disappears, after 10 minutes of waiting the game reports a matchmaking error. I tried relogging, restarting PC, shutting the PC down, restarting router, validating game files with no resolution.

SnafuAl MergedPartying up in the open beta does not seem to be working correctly, as there is no guarantee that all party members will matchmake into the same lobby. The more members in the party, the more consistent this is.
To replicate, form a party of 3 or 4 players and attempt to matchmake. In our experience, this works correctly 25% of the time with 3 players and 0% of the time with 4 players, being entirely unable to all get into the same lobby. -

Nickerb MergedI can't start any match cause matchmaking took forever (waited now for 2 hours) but also I can't tell if my game is really broken or not but there also no singleplayer to try stuff out wich I could start?

John MergedJust installed the payday 3 beta and the in-game party system does not work, showing to one of the two party members or both that the party does not exist/ they are not a memeber of the party. Matchmaking does not work when both part of a party or on my own, playing from a starbreeze account connected to steam.
