This weekend, many players diving into Elden Ring Nightreign might find it tough to connect with others. You’re definitely not alone in this challenge.
Recently, FromSoftware shared a quick tip on their social media. They suggested players restart the matchmaking process if they’re having trouble finding a partner. It’s a simple but helpful hint for those eager to team up.
In their message, FromSoftware said, “If you encounter issues finding other players when launching an expedition in Elden Ring Nightreign, please try restarting the matchmaking process. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
However, some players have expressed frustration. One user pointed out that they spent hours restarting on PS5 and still couldn’t find a match. Clearly, this issue can be more complicated than just a simple restart.
Co-op play is crucial in Nightreign. As others have noted, it doesn’t seem designed for solo players right now. While FromSoftware is aware of the backlash, they mentioned they are considering adding a two-player option in future updates, indicating that this was perhaps overlooked in development.
Interestingly, multiplayer struggles aren’t unique to Elden Ring. According to a recent survey, 65% of online gamers report difficulties finding partners in co-op games. This trend suggests that many developers face similar challenges when balancing matchmaking systems.
In the past, games like Dark Souls also had matchmaking problems, but they gradually improved with player feedback. This history of adjustments shows how essential community input is in game development.
As players wait for fixes, many are sharing their experiences on social media, creating conversations around strategies and workarounds. This can foster a sense of community, making it easier to connect with others even amid matchmaking challenges.
In the end, let’s hope FromSoftware can enhance these features soon. After all, the joy of multiplayer gaming lies in the connections we make along the journey.
