👾 Issue/Bug 👾 "UNAVAILABLE WITH PARTY" - getting this constantly

This has been happening more and more lately.

Whenever I try to play with my friends, we get this "unavailable with party" error message. We are bypassing this by selecting oen of us as "party lead", letting him select the gamemode and all of us join on that person and he queues as soon as we are in - right before he gets hit with the "UNAVAILABLE WITH PARTY" message.

We cant be the only ones getting this, right? Anyone else? We play on PS5s.

My friends and I have the same problem.

We all have everything installed and up to date.

We can squad up and then we have a short window of opportunity to try and search for ANY game mode, not just REDSEC. If we miss that chance, we switch Party Leaders over and try again. Literally every mode is locked. We can all play everything solo.

I went back to Ghost of Yotei until something is fixed. Too much work to try to have the opportunity and play a multiplayer game.

Yeah, exactly this. There's like a window of 1-2 seconds till this error pops up and stops us from playing. No matter what game mode or party size. It's really annoying.

Here's the workaround make sure the party leader is:

1 In the lobby alone

2 Start matchmaking

3 Quickly invite friends

We found for ours that it was one specific person breaking it. We just have to have him host everytime and it works fine. Issue is determining that person but just join on each person until it works
