I don't want to complain about anything, I just want answers to know why this is happening. I'll be straight to the point: how is it possible that it still takes 40 minutes to look for a lobby? Since Ghost Face has been released this issue seems to be still in the game.

    @Fantagreen

    I'm getting almost instant lobby's, so I don't understand why you're not getting the same now because of the new patch that just rolled out 3 hours ago.

    This fix didn't fix the thing I've been having the past week...trying to play as a survivor. Trying to join a lobby -> NAP type can't connect to the party error (and then I cannot do anything cause the game keeps looking for a game but it won't find any and I also can't cancel this game search so I always have to restart the game...).

    It was supposed to be fixed.. But try opening your nat type.. Doing so well let more people join you and you can join them too.

    Queue times for me got worse as Survivor.

    I'm in Asia region by the way.

    Survivor Queue: now takes 2 minutes (up from 5 seconds)

    Killer Queue: now takes 5 minutes (roughly same as before).


    Overall impression: gonna shelf this game for a bit and play Overwatch.

    I've been trying to play this afternoon. More than 2 minutes to enter a lobby, then very high rank survivors (rank 17-20) and then error because a DC before the game start or a NAT error. I can't play a single game!!

    It is funny that my killer queues are under a minute but for survivor I need to wait more than 3 minutes.

    I have the same problem but you don't need to restart the game. You just need to open character selection, close it again and this activates the shop which you can use to leave your broken lobby 🙂🙂👍👍👍

    Wait till the 26th...make sure you get a comfy chair, some snacks and the Lord of the Rings trilogy boxset to watch...cause the wait times are going to be coma-inducing.

    I'm ok with the continuous nerfing of survivors. But if I have to wait 3 min. to play a game when before it was inmediatly, I'm done with this game.

    Solo survivor is decent but at higher ranks I have times I have to wait up to 10-15 minutes for a match as survivor now after the update. SWF is not even on the table anymore, the queue times for that is just horrendous after the update. I could just be really unlucky with my survivor lobbies though. Killers queues on the other hand is a lot faster.
