Payday 3, the popular game released recently, has been plagued by matchmaking problems since its launch. The developer, Starbreeze, has acknowledged these issues and attributed them to an unforeseen error with the game’s third-party matchmaking system. In a press release, the developer stated that it is working towards making the game less reliant on online services to improve the user experience.
Since September 21, players have been unable to find matches, rendering the game unplayable. Interestingly, these issues were not present during the beta and early-access periods. Starbreeze is currently exploring various options to address this problem, both in the short and long term. This includes potentially seeking a new third-party matchmaking partner and reducing the game’s dependence on online services. However, specific details regarding these changes have not been provided.
The widespread server issues in Payday 3 have led players to demand an offline mode. This would allow them to bypass the matchmaking problems or at least play the game without relying on online services. While the press release hints at the possibility of an offline mode, it could also refer to other corporate and software arrangements.
The server problems were caused by an error in the matchmaking services, resulting in an “unrecoverable situation” for Payday 3’s third-party matchmaking partner. However, the situation has improved as updates were made to the matchmaking software over the weekend. As a result, players can now enjoy the game as intended, and the server stability seems to be stabilizing.
