Well, well, well… if you’re stuck in that long ol’ queue waitin’ for The Finals, then you’ve probably been pullin’ your hair out, wonderin’ what’s goin’ wrong. Ain’t no fun, is it? Been there myself, sittin’ there thinkin’ the game’s broke, but truth be told, it’s probably somethin’ you gotta fix on your end, or just wait for them servers to get their act together. So let me tell ya, if you’re stuck in that queue like I was, here’s what you can try.
First thing’s first, check that internet connection. Sometimes, your internet might be the culprit. If your connection ain’t so good, you’re gonna be stuck waitin’ for ages. What I mean is, when your internet’s slow, you can get caught in a long queue, cause the system thinks you’re laggin’ behind. So, take a minute to check your router, make sure it’s all hooked up nice and tight. If you got one of them fancy routers, try restarting it, might just do the trick.
Now, I ain’t no tech wizard, but I heard from folks smarter than me that some of these long queues come from players who rank real high and are queuin’ up in pairs. So, they gotta wait for others of the same skill level to join the match, which means less people to pick from, makin’ the queue longer. So if you’re sittin’ there waitin’ for a match, sometimes it’s just a matter of time before the right group of folks shows up. Ain’t much you can do ‘bout that, but sit tight.
But, hey, what if you’ve been sittin’ there too long? I hear ya. You can try requeuin’ every 30 seconds or so. I know it’s a bit much, but it’s better than just sittin’ there, lookin’ at the same ol’ screen. Some folks say keep requeuin’ until you finally get in the game. Ain’t no shame in tryin’ over and over again!
Another thing I’ve heard folks talkin’ ‘bout is when one of your friends gets kicked out during the search stage. It’ll tell ya somethin’ like “queue ended by party,” but they still get into the game somehow. Weird, right? Well, it’s happened to plenty of players. Just try to stick with it, cause once one person gets in, the rest of ya might follow soon enough.
But here’s the kicker: sometimes, it ain’t your fault, or your friends’ fault, or even the game’s fault. Sometimes, them servers just can’t handle the load. I seen on the Discord where they was talkin’ ‘bout server issues. So if it’s not your internet, and not your group, well then it’s just the game. Them servers might be down or havin’ a bit of a hiccup. Ain’t no use in stressin’, just gotta wait for them tech folks to fix it.
Now, if you been watchin’ the Discord, like I have, you’ll know that they been talkin’ ‘bout how the servers been havin’ problems, especially these last few nights. It’s happened to me and my son too—had to quit early ‘cause we couldn’t get in no game. It’s a real shame, cause the game’s real good, but the servers just ain’t workin’ like they should. Let’s hope they get it fixed soon, cause that game’s a lot of fun when it’s runnin’ smooth!
So, what’s the best thing to do when you’re stuck in that queue? Well, first thing, check your internet. Second, don’t be afraid to requeue every so often. Third, if it’s the servers, there ain’t much you can do ‘cept wait. Sometimes it’s just the way things go.
But whatever you do, don’t give up on the game! Once them servers are back in action, you’ll be back in that game faster than a squirrel runnin’ up a tree. Just hang in there, folks. It’ll all work out in the end.
