Not being able to find players in Sniper Elite 5 can be seriously annoying in multiplayer modes like PvP and Survival. What’s more, being locked into an infinite searching situation, where the multiplayer match refuses to start, can be even more frustrating. Thankfully, there are some workarounds to try and solve this issue. Here are some Sniper Elite 5 not finding players and infinite searching fixes.
Why can’t I find players in Sniper Elite 5?
At the time of writing, Sniper Elite 5 is launching worldwide. As it rolls out, more and more players will become available to play. What’s more, launch days for online games can present many unforeseen errors, some of which can impact matchmaking.
If the issue persists, try the following suggestions:
- Ensure Cross-Play is enabled.
- This will open up matchmaking to a greater number of players, across all systems, making it easier to fill lobbies and find matches.
- Widen your matchmaking search.
- Rather than hunting for a specific game mode, instead choose “Any.”
- Though you might not find your favorite game mode populated, you’ll at least find other game types with more players in them.
- Add other players as friends.
- When things get desperate, it’s time to start adding players as friends. This way, you can at least join on one another as a quick shortcut to populated matches.
How to fix the infinite searching for players in Sniper Elite 5
To fix the infinite searching issue/bug in Sniper Elite 5, players should:
- Reboot the game.
- If matchmaking is bugged, a full shutdown of the game can help to solve the issue. Boot back into the game and try matchmaking again.
- Try a different game mode.
- Expanding matchmaking to “Any” game mode can help find players.
- Check Sniper Elite social media channels.
- It’s well worth keeping an eye on Sniper Elite Twitter for any downtime announcements or news of any issues.
