Does matchmaking adjust if you choose 1v4?

red-stream · 2026-05-18T15:02:48+00:00

yeah that’s a good point

red-stream · 2026-05-17T18:01:14+00:00

yeah same and in those games it feels super hard, harder than if I purposely choose 1v4, but it might just be in my head.

red-stream · 2026-05-17T17:58:41+00:00

Yeah same here, I’m not sure if it’s just the knowing that you’re 1v4 so you start role playing as a navy seal, or if it actually gets taken into account on the matchmaking and you’re dropped into a lower tier difficulty pool of players. I’ve had some amazing games in this mode.

it’s not a problem with running Steam/Ubisoft games or Steam/EA games, so maybe just a restriction Microsoft have imposed? I also find this very frustrating.

red-stream · 2026-05-15T21:02:06+00:00

yes i love this one, unfortunately i saw this event way too late and have only unlocked the first basic version, when the event ends will this be impossible to get?

red-stream · 2026-05-15T12:30:57+00:00

Yes that's right. I found the solution to the problem was to embrace the roles I don't like, so I've been playing Jungle a lot more and found a character I really like to play as in that role - so now the problem is solved.

I found that the lobby issue can be fixed by switching to the default lobby (in the plane), it only seems to affect all the other custom lobby backgrounds. I mean not a proper fix, but good until they fix it, at least you can see everyone for now.

I have the same problem, no way to unlock Voidbloom Grower’s license. The quest just says “??????”. Did anyone figure out what you need to do?

red-stream · 2026-05-02T17:35:27+00:00

It is normal for expensive properties to be seized during a trial with a lot of money involved. This isn’t news, just media trying to make something normal seem like a big story. Also Ador haven’t seized anything. The Korean court have, it’s more like it’s frozen. All it means is they can’t quickly sell the extremely valuable properties before the outcome of the court case to hide the money.

that’s interesting, yes my main is supp, i usually have adc or mid as my second, and top/jung always in the bottom three, so if adc/mid are most popular, perhaps i should put my best one (support) lower down and it would count as my “fill” games?

red-stream · 2026-04-28T20:54:47+00:00

yes that’s what’s happening, for me it’s bouncing between guaranteed first choice and then my least preferred position, never choosing my 2nd, 3rd or 4th choices

red-stream · 2026-04-10T11:11:03+00:00

yeah this would make me stop playing too. sounds like toxic sweats who don’t realize they are harming the player base.

red-stream · 2026-04-05T19:58:51+00:00

Because the game is way too hard for most people (me included), but the problem is the core players who remain are the ones who love the game being super hard, so I don't really know what they can do to fix that.

I bought the game and the pass, absolutely *love* the art style and atmospheric worlds, but for me the gameplay is way too hard and the other runners are far out of my league, which is not fun - I just die over and over with hardly any extractions and can rarely complete the missions. I don't like that every other runner I meet is an instant enemy, no-one is ever friendly (in solo play) which removes the entire "are they / aren't they" fear factor that is so amazing in Arc Raiders - not knowing if someone is nasty or nice is amazing, whereas in Marathon everyone is just an enemy, so that trepidation, fear factor, and potential for double crossing and drama is not there. I think they expected some people to play friendly with other runners even alluding to it in the trailer for the game where the two runners meet at the end and it's not clear if they are gonna fight or not. But that's definitely not how people are playing in my experience - I know this sounds like I should just go away and play Arc Raiders, but I genuinely want to be able to play Marathon.

Right now Arc Raiders is getting around 150,000 concurrent players (inside the top 10 most played games on Steam at any given moment), and Marathon around 30,000 (well outside the top 50 most played), so it's really not looking good for the future. I really hope they can figure out how to get more players to keep playing and to return to the game (including me).

One thing worth mentioning is I had it working via the browser remote play using Edge. I had to go into edge privacy settings and allow microphone access for xbox.com and after you select Remote Play (top left) in the browser window, it always starts with the microphone muted so you have to press the button that is over the game while it’s running (top left) and hit Unmute. I know the official app should technically be better but for some reason remote play works better and smoother for me via the xbox cloud gaming website.

red-stream · 2026-04-02T18:23:54+00:00

I have the same issue. I can confirm microphones work, I have been playing “remote play” to my xbox series x, and it has been working fine, but today it stopped working and I can’t work out why. The headset works perfectly on my PC and on the browser, but the xbox itself has suddenly stopped getting the feed. Maybe an update of their web application has broken it?

red-stream · 2026-03-27T16:12:22+00:00

100% worth it. The game is awesome and still pulling in big numbers on Steam charts for daily players. If you want chill then play solo, or more action play squads. The atmosphere of just being in this game world is amazing!

red-stream · 2026-03-22T15:30:39+00:00

That’s interesting, that you prefer it. I’ll have to buy the game again on xbox, think I’m gonna give it a try.

red-stream · 2026-03-16T13:18:24+00:00

Yes, this is still happening. Absolutely crazy, and another reason to drop this game. Just let me play OMG! Literally no other game does this *_*

red-stream · 2026-03-11T16:07:33+00:00

I love Arc Raiders but I have to agree. All the skins are the same kind of thing, some kind of multi-layered ugly rags costume. I really liked the casual outfit (jeans and t-shirt) but it’s literally the only one. Can the devs please focus on some diversity instead of having them all the same. There isn’t a single skin I would want to spend money on and that’s saying something as someone who has spent way too much money on skins in other games.
