What Causes The Matchmaking Error In Killing Floor 2?

How To Fix The Matchmaking Error In Killing Floor 2?

If you are having trouble while matchmaking, try some of the solutions below to fix this issue quickly.

• Wait for the invitation to be accepted or rejected
• Set create match option
• Disable the option of allowing in-progress games
• Disable the VS survival model
• Restart PS4 console
• Update the game

1) Wait For The Invitation To Be Accepted Or Rejected

In my opinion, waiting for the invitation you sent to be accepted or refused is the first thing you should do if Killing Floor 2 cannot find a match while attempting to matchmake or join a party. Invites could take some time to process, so it is advisable to give the game a minute to process them, as sometimes sending invitations too quickly will cause the session’s invite mechanism to malfunction.

To invite a friend, follow these steps:

1. Firstly, go to the option of “Squad“> “Create Party.”

   

2. Select the icon of the invite.

   

3. A search menu will open. Type in your friend’s player name.

   

4. Select the invite icon once and wait for the invitation to get accepted.

   

2) Set Create Match Option

I resolved this error by setting the “Create Match” option. The “Create Match” function in Killing Floor 2 sometimes interferes with matchmaking. Therefore, it is preferred that the “Create Match” option is not set to a particular map or wave duration. This is because that tends to limit your match searching, and you won’t be able to discover any matches unless they fit with those exact specifications.

Before loading a game, confirm that in the preferred map and waves option, you have selected “ANY” by following the following steps:

1. Select the option “Squad“> “Create Party.”

   

2. Wait for a few seconds.
3. Now go back and choose “Preferred Map.”
4. Set the option to “ANY.”

   

5. Go to the “Length” option and set it to “ANY.”

   

Hopefully, this will resolve the issue.

3) Disable The Option Of Allowing In Progress Games

Furthermore, the issue of matchmaking failure arises due to the “Allow in Progress Games” option being turned on in matchmaking. So, by disabling this option, my team members resolved this error, and this method has also been suggested by other users on Reddit. You can turn off this option by following these steps.

1. Go to the “Online Matchmaking” option and select it.

   

2. Now scroll down to the “Game Progress” option and select it.
3. Change the Game Progress to “Not Started.”

   

4) Disable VS Survival Mode

Killing Floor 2 offers two game modes while playing online. According to my team members, sometimes, the matchmaking also causes issues when you have selected the Game Mode as VS Survival. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid this mode if it appears to be causing an endless loading screen. To do this, follow these instructions:

1. Go to “Online Matchmaking” and select it.

   

2. Go to the option of “Game Mode“> “Survival“.

   

5) Restart PS4 Console

In my findings, another reason the Killing Floor 2 PS4 matchmaking problem can occur is due to some technical glitch within the console. In that case, you can resolve this by restarting your PS4 console and trying again.

6) Update The Game

Keeping the game version updated is the most preferable troubleshooting step I always recommend to avoid any issues with matchmaking. Ensure you use the most recent version of Killing Floor 2 because an outdated version will result in a matchmaking failure error. So, update your game on your PS4 by following these instructions:

1. Go to the Killing Floor 2 game title on your home screen.
2. Press the “Options” button on your PS4 controller.
3. Select “Check for Update.”

   

4. Select the “Update” option and try matchmaking again if your game is updated.

   

It is advisable to turn on auto-update for your applications, which will ensure the installation of timely updates. To turn on auto-update, follow the instructions given below:

1. Go to the “Settings” option on your home screen.

   

2. Scroll down and select “System.”

   

3. Select the option of “Automatic Downloads.”

   

4. Click on the check boxes of “System Software Update Files,” “Allow Restart,” and “Application Update Files” to select these options and follow the instructions given at the bottom of this page.

   

What To Do If Nothing Works?

If none of these fixes resolve the issue, you can try a few easy fixes to get the matchmaking working. Some users have reported that using the server browser resolved the matchmaking issue for them. You can use the server browser to filter models or maps as you need and play online with friends.

Furthermore, to avoid sitting in the matchmaking queue for a long time, you can create an empty party first and then search for the game. Moreover, you can also change the region in Killing Floor 2 to eliminate the matchmaking issue.

Contact PS support if you have tried all the above solutions and nothing works for you.
