    @Khalednazari I'm glad somebody from the forms responded to this. Let's just hope it's doesn't take too long. this whole waiting 2 minutes just to join a new game is becoming ridiculous.

    Add me as another that this is happening to. After every match I can’t go back in for either a long time, or if I go out and ‘test internet connection’ It lets me do it after that.

    Thank you for your input. I will surely test it out if that helps. Do you remember any action that you think might have caused this issue for you?

    Is It possible that this is related to the shrine of secrets? As I and all of my friends got this problem after buying perks from the shrine? No idea if this is true, just an idea

    Well, I am not sure, but I can say that this problem started after the shrine update. I did check the shrine before playing my first game, so... it's a possibility that even checking the shrine may lead this? Need to confirm this.

    Hi all, I have been having this issue as well since last weekend. I have never had this issue before, so it's new for me. This issue however started around the time I faced a different issue altogether, as around the time (1 minute to go) a new daily ritual is given I was watching the daily ritual screen. When I removed a daily ritual I never received a replacement ritual for it. I had one ritual removed it and then I had zero rituals. The next day I had the failed to join game error. I don't know if one triggered the other, or if it is just poor luck.

    I am playing with an ethernet cable setup, I will test wifi connection shortly too and let you know the results

    @foiledfury sure! The shrine and the daily ritual update at the same time.

    It's happening to me since they released the new trapper cosmetic.

    Wasn't it the same day the shrine was updated??

    I think you guys may have a point. I haven't had an issue ever since 3 days ago. It might be the Trapper update or possibly the shrine.

    It's affecting both Playstation & XBOX One. My nephew and I both witnessed it on our consoles, and come here trying to see if anyone else had the same issue. I'm just seeing this post, which should probably be in "Technical Issues" there's another post addressing this issue there as well.

    Thank you. The reason it's in the general forums is to give it more exposure. There are already multiple threads in the PS4 Bug List section. Thank you for bringing to light that xbox is affected, too. I will update the opening post.

    Just hope they can recreate the problem we're having. But what queen says they're not able to right now.

    I know that a ps4 patch update for the system itself was released, maybe that has something to do with it. Regardless, this issue is very tedious to deal with.

  • rebelhunter316

    Update. It seems the issue has be resolved. I not having the circle pop up after I leave a game. I will keep you informed if that changes.
  • rebelhunter316
    rebelhunter316 Member Posts: 102
    Update again. It saw a fluke. The circle is back. It seems it happens during long games. Maybe...

    Happening for me too. Timed it: it feels a hell of a lot longer but it’s 1min and 15-20 secs. Way to make it slightly quicker is to go to PS menu, go to Test Internet Connection, run that, after IP address checked you can cancel out and go back to the game. It’ll tell you the connection was lost and then you can get back to the main menus. Probably saves you about 20 seconds but at least you feel proactive....

    I switched to my WiFi and played a game. I did not have this issue. But then again, my WiFi and my LAN are two different ISP connections. I don't know how is that making a difference, but it works. Also, this game is unplayable on WiFi. I have to stick to my wired connection sadly.

    So I finally tried wifi and it also affects me there, so no difference for me. I do believe that father time is a factor, as short matches don't give the issue. Reinstall did not work for me. I just hope that the next shrine update fixes it (fingers crossed) if they cant reproduce it

    Yes. I am hoping it gets auto-fixed with the next shrine update.

    Is very weird if it's a Wi-Fi issue. LAN not having the issue. But if it was a Wi-Fi issue then a lot of people would be posting on this forms not just a few. It's a possible theory though and possible cause of the issue.

    I'll follow up with the team with this today.
    As I said before, our issue right now is that we can't reproduce the bug and that prevents us from finding the fix.

    So the situation is still the same, no repro which means we are still at the same point as last week.
    Let me see with the team if it would help to inspect some community cases!

    @not_Queen I can only provide with the following points :

    1. Not every PS4 player is affected.
    2. Timeline of 1st occurance is after the Shrine update last week.
    3. Re-installing the game hasn't worked.
    4. So far only I have experienced this, that whenever I switch from my LAN to WiFi, the issue disappears. (My LAN and WiFi are different ISPs)

    I don't. I came out of a game once and I think it said there was a save issue so it didnt save my bloodpoints for the previous round and perhaps since then? Otherwise no, I dont know!

    It's been 1 month or so since I'm having this problem and I'm back to playing DBD ...

    I would like to mention that not only in DBD but also in other games that are online (Rainbow Six Siege and BF1).

    Sorry for mentioning these games here, but I wonder if someone is having this same problem in other games too ...

    I think it's the last update of PS4 ...

    Before sending this message, I made connection of my PS4 over wifi and still continues with the same problem.

    Tomorrow I will go to my brother's house to test his network and bring answers.

    I thank everyone for their attention!

    Original Message

    Faz 1 mês mais ou menos que estou tendo este problema e voltei a jogar DBD...

    Gostaria de mencionar que não só no DBD como também em outros jogos que seja online (Rainbow Six Siege e BF1).

    Perdoem mencionar estes jogos aqui, mas gostaria de saber se alguém está tendo este mesmo problema em outros jogos também...

    Acredito que seja a ultima atualização do PS4...

    Antes de enviar esta mensagem, realizei conexão do meu PS4 por wifi e ainda continua com o mesmo problema.

    Amanhã irei na casa do meu irmão para testar a rede dele e trarei respostas.

    Agradeço a atenção de todos!
