PS4 - Anyone else having long wait times as a SOLO survivor?

It’s been happening to me for awhile now. The wait could take up to 5-10 mins but I find lobbies with SWF no problem.

I tried queing as killer and instantly got Survivors in my lobby. I would rather not play Killer because I have way more fun with survivor

unnecessary side note: when I do find a lobby as a solo, the killer’s ping is horrible.

    Hmm, I think I'm like rank 12 atm on ps4. I have no problems finding solo lobbies, but the killers keep dodging for some reason.

    If you pop in at the same time with other players killers still think you're SWF and will dodge. That happens a lot.

    That makes sense. My nea does look super toxic so maybe doesn't help.

    I promise I'm just a baby survivor with good fashion sense!

    I’m in the EU (Don’t know if Brexit will give us our own UK servers, our governments a mess) and have faced waits of 20 minutes+. It’s so horrid.

    It's doubtful that Brexit will require any developers to give you your own dedicated servers. It's cheaper just to exclude you entirely.

    Oof, that sounds harsh. To be honest I’d rather they spent more money. If it keeps the youths indoors... it might help decrease the knife crime that keeps popping up on my news feed.

    To be clear, that's only if Brexit forces developers to put servers in the UK, and it's only my guess that it'd be cheaper to exclude you entirely.

    Yes. I have had trouble finding games in both solo and duo que the past two nights on PS4. I even swung by the fourm to see if anyone else was posting about it last night. I’m in the same region as you.

    Have the same issue at rank 1 waited 10 minutes and gave up and switched to killer and got a lobby in 20 seconds.

    Rank 1 survivor on PS4. The past week has been horrible as a solo survivor and even worse with SWF (I play with one friend) in regards to queue times. Her and I wait up to 10 minutes for a match and many times the killer leaves right away. We ended up just playing solo/killer and talked to each other in party chat since the traditional method wasn’t happening. Maybe rank reset will help it get back to normal.

    Never. Rank 1 survivor and I always find a lobby within 5 seconds. Just a lot of DCs, crashes etc.
