If you’re trying to enjoy the early access of Fortnite‘s Ballistic mode and are unable to find any games – worry not, for you’re not the only one having the problem.
As of writing, the online services of multiple Fortnite game modes are having issues on the server side. Due to the problems caused by them, players have been unable to matchmake as expected, and this spans across multiple game modes. Ballistic’s early access has also been affected by it, unfortunately, but there are a few tips and tricks to ensure, which will allow you to jump in once the problems are resolved.
How to solve Fortnite Ballistic’s matchmaking errors
Usually, matchmaking errors take place in Fortnite when there are either issues at your end, or the end of the servers. As of writing, it has been confirmed that the servers aren’t working as intended. Epic Games has officially acknowledged the issue, and the developers are currently looking at the problems.
The best solution right now is to just wait patiently. As this is a problem at the server end, there’s nothing you can do. As long as you have the updated client, you should be able to enjoy Ballistic when the servers go online. An ETA isn’t available since Epic Games hasn’t given a timeline about how long it will take to fix the problems.
Here are a few pointers to keep in mi𒉰nd if you get matchmaking errors even a♔fter the servers are fixed.
- Using a cabled internet connection will be smoother compared to WiFi, and it will also reduce instances of packet bursts.
- If you have a Strict NAT-type connection, you’ll occasionally run into problems trying to matchmake in Ballistic.
- Make sure that you don’t have any background service that is consuming a large bandwidth of your allotted data.
As long as these steps are ensured, enjoying Fortnite Ballistic will be a piece of cake once Epic fixes its servers. Till then, make sure to check out our guide about what the new mode is and how it will work in Epic’s battle royale universe.
