    Took me about 10 minutes to get in around 2pm eastern. Anyone know what these servers are hosted on? (Google Cloud Provider, AWS, Azure, or something else?)

      Looking at netstat, I see at least one connection to GCP - but I’m not checking exhaustively, and that could be for anything.

    It’s not stuck, you’re just in queue. Took me 10 minutes, then played a round solo waiting for my friends and suddenly was matched with two absolute noobs who just looked like they wanted to try the game for a minute.

    I heard it’s now free with GeForce NOW so lots of new players.

    It’s currently impossible for us to create a party.

      I mean, shouldn’t this be expected? The game’s been out for like three days… It does sound like they’ve maybe underestimated the player load, though.

        It’s one thing if you’re just learning the mechanics but just running around shooting everything in sight and interacting with all kinds of things shows you have no clue what kind of game you are playing.

        I read of another player who got dropped into a squad with rando’s even though the toggle for that was off. So it’s possible these people never wanted to mess up another player’s raid.
