FIRST CHECK
Start with these checks
- Check official outage and maintenance announcements first.
- If no official instruction says to remain queued, close the game and launcher and sign in again through the normal official flow.
- Before changing VPN or network routing, compare another permitted connection if available, accounting for mobile-data charges.
Try one change at a time and undo it if it does not help. Follow the game’s specific official instructions where they differ.
General PC game guides
Game-specific checks
For PC players who can reach the lobby but cannot find a match, wait longer with friends, or can enter standard maps but not maps with conditions.
Read the game-specific steps →ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGNDeep of Night unavailableFor players unable to access Deep of Night. A missing mode and not encountering DLC bosses or terrain during an expedition need different checks.
Read the game-specific steps →Marvel RivalsCannot log in or join a matchFor failures at login or when moving from the lobby into a match. An application that crashes at launch, or latency only after a match begins, needs a different investigation.
Read the game-specific steps →Marvel RivalsHigh ping and network lagFor players who can enter matches but see delayed movement or actions. Record low FPS separately rather than assuming that all stuttering is a network problem.
Read the game-specific steps →AniimoLogin and connection errorsFor a persistent login wait, network timeout, account-linking problem or missing character after signing in on Windows PC.
Read the game-specific steps →ACE COMBAT 8Windows time sync failsUse this when Windows 11 time synchronization itself fails while checking ST-3100001. If synchronization succeeded but the game still disconnects, use the connection guide instead.
