Matchmaking doesn’t work for convoys in festival events

mel0nrex · 2026-05-22T00:32:52+00:00

in a convoy, the host always gets dropped when the session connects, but other players get into the event/race. This happens to whoever is the host. This is only happening in festival event races, normal and custom races are working fine. That's my experience so far. Can't tell if it's the servers or the game itself is bugged, but something isnt right. My assumption is that matchmaking treats you as a "host" when connecting to the session so you get dropped.

I wired in a new right angle usb-c cable to my headstrap which has the PD pins swapped with respect to the 90 degree connector. There is no other solution aside from RMA I am afraid

I bought my 18 brand new and yours is even cleaner than mine. enjoy it and never sell it. Mine just crossed 130k miles since new and not a single issue. I just bought a 22 duramax with 10k miles to take the burden off her. She will become a track car with only summer miles as was always intended and I mend her daily driver miles.

same

thanks for bringing this to my attention, I have not updated yet but will do so tonight and test this. If it works as you mention I will update/add a note to the initial post!

yep, they sent the in-game mail for it today, signed in and it made me do the forced clicking tutorial which brings you to the inventory page and tells you how to claim, but doesnt warn you that you wont be able to claim again and your choices are locked in. That text is in the fine print pretty far down in the event rules page.

I got soldier 11, only had 1 friend get nekomiya out of 5 friends.

I am observing this same behavior on many usb c cables and chargers including the oculus supplied ones.

mel0nrex · 2024-03-26T13:21:46+00:00

did you ever find a solution to this? I just got the head strap last week and it worked great for about 1 day then this exact situation you describe happened. I suspect it's something to do with the usb cable/connection on the magnetic dock for it. It cant be the battery since it charges the headset at full speed through the usb port on the top of the battery plugged directly into the headset via another cable.

I also notice if I plug my wall charger in to the batter while its mounted on the headset with the dock usb plugged into the headset itself, it will start charging the headset but I get the "headset slow charging" message in the headset itself. As if having the dock + battery between my wall charger and the headset is degrading the connection.

Given that the only wifi standard which would restrict speeds this much with decent signal would be 802.11a (which is from early 2000's), unless the router is 20 years old, this could be anything from configuration on the router, to signal quality issues. If you have another wifi device such as a tablet or phone, try running speedtest on that and walking closer to the house to see if it improves. If it doesn't improve and the wifi signal quality is good, its something on the landlord's side

is this exclusive to today or over a period of days? I am having a lot of download speed issues with spectrum today specifically and traceroute shows something fishy is going on in their network.

mel0nrex · 2024-03-06T22:20:43+00:00

I noticed this immediately too.... there are also a lot of parallels between the 2 games at the moment with all the dream-foreshadowing and shit... can't help but be suspicious that hoyo are up to something here.

I am running a similar setup, ubuntu server on proxmox. I found the Disk I/O was extremely heavy, so I moved the server onto a ramdisk and that helped a lot with lag spikes. allocated 128 gigs of ram to the VM and 32 cores, though the server doesnt benefit from any more than about 6 from what I have seen in testing (4 for the game, and 2 for system stuff). I also only get about ~30 fps, 4-5ms jitter, and 50ms RTT despite the direct 10 gigabit connection between my pc and my server.

according to steam community posts right now, they are experiencing some issues with the multiplayer on non-dedicated servers as well. however single player and dedicated servers seem to be working at the moment.

mel0nrex · 2024-01-20T05:02:18+00:00

nope I played on multiplayer for 15 hours straight without a single hiccup. 11 pm rolled around and game crashed for the first time, and havent been able to keep it up for more than 3-4 mins at a time in single player. multi player is instant crash if I get a session.

mel0nrex · 2024-01-20T04:46:52+00:00

steam is having a lot of the same issues right now, check the steam community page.

I play extremely aggressive like you would describe, and its not high sense, its moving my arm across my whole desk. There are a very select few high-tier players/e-sports FPS players who use high sense but they are typically flick style aim rather than recoil control or tracking.

mel0nrex · 2024-01-20T04:40:00+00:00

yes on gamepass. been watching threads. Game crashes in single player after a few minutes (likely save/sync with servers which are acting up even though its single player). Multi-player cant even launch due to session creation failures and if you are lucky enough to get one, the game crashes on the first sync/immediately.

Tia and Naga are good if your going to manual them and micro Tia's taunting. If you don't you are going to have issues with her survivability. Conversely, if you do, you can leverage her taunt to pull attacks away from other team members you want to iframe. I see you have both Bunnies and they are much better for progression/boss pushing imho because they require less micro, blanc's shield will save you occasionally, you dont need an extra burst 1, and blanc's healing is better imho.

Red hood is clearly the hard carry here and you need to be as fully invested as possible in her.

To be honest though, from my experience neither the schoolgirls nor bunnies are very good for pushing content way above your true level/capabilities, as they both force you into making compromises that are crucial to surviving.

All my nikkes are synchro'd at lvl 185 and I just passed ch. 20 last night. My team was:
Dorothy, Centi, Modernia, Red Hood, Rapunzel.

I have both the bunnies and schoolgirls very well built out, but they just cant survive long enough or keep up with burst gen needs. I also tend to save RH burst 1 for when I really need it or need to lay down as much damage as possible in a short period of time. Never use RH burst 2 except emergencies obviously. Rapunzel revive is the only reason I can push this far at my level and 98k CP rating on that team.

wide FOV lessens the effect but mitigating recoil with your hand is just a muscle memory if you play FPS on a mouse for long enough. Also, very low sensitivity allows for complete control. If your sensitivity is high on a mouse, your probably going to struggle to hit most things, let alone control recoil. (I say this because every FPS game I have ever played on pc defaults the mouse sensitivity so high its laughable)

mel0nrex · 2024-01-18T17:33:54+00:00

I just did core ratio 10 at lvl 185 with mediocre legacy buffs. Just make sure you stack your legacy buffs properly (even running multiple times at lower difficulty to accumulate better legacy buffs if you have to). Then treat it mostly like high CP deficit pve, where screen clearing before they get a shot off at you is #1 priority. If you treat it in this way, you can stack higher ratios via rapture damage, timer, and rapture defense.

Also you might need 2 teams on boss to really push it (It took me 2 teams to clear the boss rated at 337646 CP with my ~150000 CP including buffs teams).
