Lobby not visible by others

[oooFreaKooo2214]

Issue:

Often when i create a lobby, it doesnt show up at the lobby list
No one can join my game because it doesnt show up at all

Sometimes it works but 80% of the times it doesnt?? WHY?? PLEASE FIX

[StupidYeen]

Yeah, neither me or my friend can create a visible lobby at all. I’m curious whether it affects only steam users or…?

Nope, this is still broken

@Sniper8103 - I see the OP was made long ago, before the bug template was fleshed out as much as it is now. Considering that, the OP is missing a bunch of stuff that’s now asked for in the template when creating a new post in bug reports. If you’re experiencing the issue, I think it would be helpful for devs if you listed out things they ask for in the template. (You can temporarily draft a topic in the “Report a Bug” area to get the template details, then copy them, discard that draft, then paste them in a new post here, maybe?) Things like the following are helpful for bug reporting; otherwise devs just fly fairly blindly. And you never know what one little thing could cause the bug, assuming it is one:

• Steam or MS Store? Build #? OS? Reproduction steps?

By listing repro steps, you could say which server do you manually pick, or do you pick “Default”? Do you make your match public instead of private? Are all users trying to find your lobby on Steam, or MS Store, or is there a mix? If there’s a mix, is “Crossplay” enabled for all users trying to find you, including yourself? etc. In the OP’s screenshot, the lobby browser is sorted to “westeurope”. I wonder if they created their lobby in ‘westeurope’ or should they be doing a different filter/sort? These things can be helpful for devs (or even fellow forum users who want to try and help troubleshoot or recreate the issue), no matter how trivial some steps might seem.

Have you tried any troubleshooting – choosing different servers, for example? If so, what all have you tried?

I always choose default server sometimes it westeurope or ukwest. I playing on Steam and I choose always Public.

Awesome! Every little bit of information like this should help the devs if they come across it here
