It takes about 5 minutes to find a match as survivor and when i try to be a killer i have to wait atleast 30+ minutes. Currently waiting and my timer is at 42 minutes #########?? i'm currently rank 14

    Maybe it's because it's in the middle of the night. Or does this always happen?

    What platform are you on because the same thing was happening to me on xbox but it fixed itself when i moved the game from hard drive storage to internal storage

    Currently been waiting for 18+ minutes for a killer game here in Sweden.

    Might just give up soon tbh. 70-80 hours to beat the Rift, my ass.

    EDIT: I gave up at 22 minutes. Seriously not worth it.

    It doesn‘t even make sense that both sides are waiting. We have to many killers -> no waiting times for survivors.

    Same here, 20 mintues to find a lobby is just insane. The waiting kills all the thrill so much you don't even care about the game anymore.

    It makes sense because the game is broken.

    Killer waiting time was not as bad for me. I assume most are trying to play survivor.

    I also wait longer and then people kill themselves on hook or dc. :/

    Just got to Rank 12 for the first time as killer.

    It really depends on your location and time for me I live at the East coast of the USA and at say 12 pm it takes at minimum 5 to find a game as killer but say 11 12 am I can find a game in as littler as 30 seconds it just depends on your location and time

    The opposite is true for me in the UK on PS4, instant killer games but 5-10 minute waits to even get in a survivor lobby; increased even more if I’m queuing with friends.

    Worse double blood point event ever. Frustration level through the roof. I hate and love this game in equal amounts.

    the wait times on PS4 were ridiculous. Played less than a fourth of the games I wanted due to wait times

    what the f is going on ?

    Level 9 in 5 hours got 9 games on PS4...


    Wait. Wait

    just saying

    Im on xbox, its instant as a survivor but 3-5 minutes as a killer. Im assuming its not as bad on xbox because its on gamepass. I hear its even worse on PC but instant on switch because its new.

    This game desperately needs crossplay with at least consoles

    Killer is instant for me at night/midnight but survivor is always horrible at all times of the days.
