Not letting me join online games/ people

[Doubleshooter45]

so i got this game yesterday and when i try to join a online game it wont let me in and when i make a lobby no one joins and people usally join when i played this on xbox if anyone can tell me why and how to fix it thanks.

this also happened to me too! I play on desktop and when I tried making an online match it just says "failed to make online game" or something. what my brother was thinking is that you might have to get to a high level in order to access online play. I did manage to play with my brother at some point, but we used the lobby feature.

There isn't a level requirement for Online play. If you're making lobbies at Normal difficulty, you probably won't get many people joining you; but you should eventually get someone.

To check, are you using -steamMM in the launch options? Are you using mods?

Is Payday 2 and all it's files/folder whitelisted in your anti-virus?

Do you have network traffic from Epic blocked?

The game uses Epic Matchmaking Services to match players, so if you (or your brother) has certain Internet ports blocked (the ones Epic uses) then you won't be able to play with other people.

You don't need to have Epic games in order for that to work, the game just needs an EOS dll file that gets installed automatically when you download and install the game. You should be able to see if it you browse local files.

EOS is Epic Online Services, essentially it's the Epic matchmaking I was talking about. The game uses EOS to matchmake players now, since the game is crossplay with Epic and apparently Steam matchmaking on it's own doesn't allow crossplay.

It's on by default, and yes that's the dll that enables it.

You can disable crossplay by adding -steamMM to the launch command options. This forces the game to use Steam matchmaking only, but it means you can only see and play with people who have done the same.

how do i add steamMM?
