How To Fix Matchmaking Error In Killing Floor 2?

Since Killing Floor 2 is a multiplayer team game, many people who have attempted to play it in co-op mode have encountered issues related to matchmaking. Players usually get stuck on the search page, which keeps searching for online matches without any success.

Players get an “Unable To Find Match” error on other occasions.

This issue could occur due to a number of reasons, including:

• Multiple game invites were sent before being accepted
• Setting a specific map/wave duration
• Technical issues with your console
• Game version is not updated
• The game progress option enabled in the game
• Killing Floor 2 server-related problem

If you are having trouble while matchmaking, you can try some of the solutions listed below to resolve this issue in no time.

Wait For The Invitation To Be Accepted Or Rejected

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. Go to the option of “Squad” in Killing Floor 2 and select “Create Party.”

   

2. Select the icon of 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.

   

Set Create Match Option

Sometimes the “Create Match” function in Killing Floor 2 seems to interfere with the matchmaking process. 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 “Squad” option and select “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 option of “Length” and set it to “ANY.”

   

Hopefully, this will resolve the issue.

Disable The Option Of Allow In Progress Games

Sometimes the issue of matchmaking failure arises due to the “Allow in Progress Games” option being turned on in Matchmaking. You must disable this option to fix the problem of Killing Floor 2 PS4 Matchmaking not working issue. 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 option of “Game Progress” and select it.
3. Change the Game Progress to “Not Started.”

   

Disable VS Survival Mode

Killing Floor 2 offers two game modes while playing online. Sometimes the matchmaking also causes issues when you have selected the Game Mode as VS Survival. You might also wish 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” and select “Survival” instead of “VS Survival.”

   

Restart PS4 Console

Another reason the Killing Floor 2 PS4 matchmaking not working problem can occur is due to some technical glitch within the console. This can be resolved by simply restarting your PS4 console and trying again. Follow these steps to restart your console.

1. Press and hold the “PS” button on your PS4 controller for a couple of seconds to open the “Quick Menu.”
2. Go to “Power” and select “Restart PS4.”

   

Update The Game

Keeping the game version updated is always preferable to avoid any issues with matchmaking. Make sure you are using 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. If your game is updated, the system will show a message that your application is the latest version. Otherwise select the Update option and try matchmaking again.

   

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.

   

Check The Status Of Game Servers

There’s a chance that the game server isn’t working properly or is down for maintenance, which would explain the matchmaking difficulty. It might be due to some technical issue with the servers or because of the overwhelming number of players at any given time, which may occasionally cause the servers to be overloaded and glitch.

There isn’t much you can do if the servers are down other than wait and try again later. To check the status of Killing Floor 2 servers, follow the instructions given below:

1. Open your browser and go to https://servicesdown.com.

   

2. Scroll down to find Killing Floor 2 icon or type in the search bar to find it.
3. You can monitor the status of the server from this page.

   

You can also follow Killing Floor on social media platforms like Twitter to stay tuned to the latest updates regarding any server issues.

What To Do If Nothing Works?

If none of these fixes seem to resolve the issue for you, then you can try a few easy fixes to get the matchmaking working. Some users have reported that using the server browser resolved the matchmaking not working issue for them. You can use the server browser to filter models or maps as per your requirements and play online with friends.

To avoid sitting in the matchmaking queue for a long time, you can try creating an empty party first and then searching for the game.

You can also change the region in Killing Floor 2 to get rid of the matchmaking issue.
