    Really? Because my survivor queues are at least 20 mins or higher.

    It's only a problem in the high ranks (1-10) where there are not enough killers. The low ranks (11-20) are fine. The problem is even worse on consoles where optimization issues hurt killers.

    Would you mind telling us your rank?

    I am Rank 2 currently (bloody Depip) and I get Matches in seconds. At least it was like that this afternoon. Will be longer in the evening I guess.

    EDIT: Just tested, around 7 PM, Germany, PC, Steam: 3:24 for Survivor (Red) and 23 seconds for Killer (purple).

    My wait times in purple/red ranks have been very quick unless I'm with a group of 3 (which is expected). I'm kind of forced to play survivor though because my killer wait times have been around 10 min or more each.

    From my perspective, its to do with the time of day you play. Generally I have a way easier time finding lobbies as killer in the evening (7pm onwards GMT), and a way easier time finding lobbies as survivor in the afternoon. Today was an exception however, I found killer lobbies very fast at around 5pm, haven't played survivor today yet though.

    @Clopotel You must be playing on PC .. it's instant but God killer Queue's are horrendous on PC since I bought the game i didn't even play a single killer match .


    However on the other end I got to experience playing both sides on PS4 but queue times can be really awful at times even solo queue can last up to 30 minutes . Not exxagerating . I set a timer from the moment i hit the search button . 😊

    on pc, you can find a survivor match quickly and have to wait forever for a killer match.

    console it’s complete opposite.

    Ahm... have you played since the update?

    Played around 25+ games yesterday as both killer and survivor on red ranks and queue lasted less than 30 secs as killer and les than 3 mins as survivor. Xbox

    i’m playing now actually as red rank survivor on console and i waited 5 minutes for a match (solo queue).

    i guess it’s just hit or miss?

    Maybe it's cause of the hour, I live in Mexico city and I play around 10 pm to 1 am, right now it's 12:20 pm for me, not a good time to find a queue

    Sitting at rank 4/5 atm, queue times are ranging from instant to about 30 seconds at all times of day in the Central timezone for US for survivor. Haven't tested the killer queues yet. Doesn't seem to be a problem for everyone.

    i agree, this morning (around 10 am) i had really quick queue times but now it’s slowed down.
