Every time I try it just makes me wait in a loading screen for over a minute before booting me back to the main menu like nothing happened. Sometimes it’ll say “There was a problem with the dedicated servers,” which ends the exact same way. As it stands, all I can do are weapon drills, and that’s just repetitive.
EDIT: I also wanted to ask - why is fighting BOTS something we have to queue for?! Isn’t 75% of the appeal of bots the fact that you can fight them whenever, wherever, regardless of an internet connection/other people?

I believe you have to play during the times stated in the invite. At least that is what I thing… So i think we have to wait till 7-9pm PT

Not only is it currently within the play times stated, you can play whenever. Those times are just stress-test times.

Ah it isn’t quite 4pm PT but almost… But yeah I have been trying to do the weapon academy and it doesn’t take me into match. Was waiting before trying a bot match.

Pacific time is three hours behind EST time so isn’t 7-9 PST = 4-6 EST? It is just now 4pm EST. So we should have just entered the “stress time”.

3 hours ahead, not behind.
EDIT: Apparently there’s a 5-post-a-day limit that I’ve hit, so that’s fun. I’ll just edit this one with my reply

We are in the middle of the first stress test period, and I’m also willing to be that a lot of people are trying to log in and check out the flight for the weekend. If I were you, I would keep trying to queue, since that’ what the stress test is for. Otherwise, try to queue when you think there won’t be as many people on, like in the morning. If you are persistent, though, you should be able to get a match going today.
Yeah, I get that, but I haven’t been able to get into a match PERIOD. I’ve been trying since around 1:30am EST (went to sleep, obviously) and the same thing. I haven’t stopped trying, but it’s super disappointing.
They said they will make some focused seasons but not that you can only play within this timeperiod.
So i would guess we have matchmaking problems right now.

I was able to play several matches earlier, and now I’m getting the same issue.

Yeah I got it backwards don’t I, it’s currently 4pm est so it’s only 1pm PST. … But either way I can’t seem to play any thing in the game just yet.

Fighting bots is their way of testing how the bots hold up but they are controlled by the server so unless the server is working you cant play against bots.
They will get lots of data of how the bots perform just from today!!
yeh i mean i just got to try it today, and i cant get into a matchmaking game at all. tried weapon drill . got into one, but when i tried to change weapon it just took me back to menu.
currently connecting to server. oh and when got into a weapon drill it took forever to load.
How I got it to work. I purchased the battle pass in the store for 250 credits, you start with 3000. I exited the program, did a hard reset where I even unplugged the Xbox. Then I relaunched and right now the weapon academy is working, playing now, haven’t tried the bot slayer yet.

I’ve been having the EXACT same problem, every time I enter matchmaking, it fails just before the match should begin. Have you been able to solve your problem, or have you just not been able to play any bot slayer?
