Finding a game takes ages now

Did the new update change how matchmaking searched?
Last week I would search and instantly find a game on expanded settings, and now it takes ages.

I would recommend a hard reset first. Then try again. If that doesn’t work switch to expanded search then try again. If that doesn’t work try a different playlist.

Na mate done all that pisss, and made no difference. and it’s for Team arena and slayer. Both are slow to find a game

They made quite a bit of matching changes recently with the latest being parties will try to match other parties first. You should check out Josh Menke’s matchmaking threads in the Matchmaking forum.
