FromSoftware has recently addressed the prolonged matchmaking times in their popular title, Elden Ring: Nightreign, a concern that has surfaced despite the game boasting a player base exceeding 2 million. As reported by Eurogamer, players have expressed their frustrations regarding the lengthy waits, particularly on PC platforms.
Matchmaking Challenges
The studio’s initial recommendations for alleviating these issues have not proven effective, especially for PC users. Their primary advice has been to restart the matchmaking process when faced with delays. However, feedback from players suggests that this approach has yielded little improvement. In addition, FromSoftware has suggested altering the NAT connection type for those playing on PlayStation, but this too has not provided a comprehensive solution.
Discussions on platforms like the Elden Ring subreddit and Steam forums reveal that players are experiencing wait times that can be discouraging. At any given moment, there are between 200,000 and 300,000 players online on Steam, which raises questions about the efficiency of the matchmaking system.
- Players are encouraged to form full teams of three to enhance their chances of quicker matchmaking.
- Another alternative is to explore Yui’s Seamless Co-op mod for Nightreign, which allows for duo play, potentially easing the matchmaking burden.
As the community awaits a more permanent fix, the emphasis remains on collaboration and creative solutions to navigate the current matchmaking landscape.
