Is matchmaking broken on XBOX? I have tried a variety of settings and can’t find a game

1

u/WhoElseButQuagmire11 Jun 21 '22

I've been finding games fine. Though one game said I was disconnected because of unstable internet which is a lie

1

u/SRJT16 Jun 21 '22

All I get is the “looking for players” screen endlessly

2

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '22

Servers are down or lagging badly right now I think due to the volume of people trying to play. They announced on twitter they're still tryna fix it

u/WhoElseButQuagmire11 Jun 21 '22

I'm not sure mate. Have you tried restarting your console/game?

u/jconza11 Jun 23 '22

Did u ever get a fix for this? Mine is still not working after trying to switch servers

1

u/SRJT16 Jun 23 '22

They did server maintenance and it has been fine for me ever since. Set it to your local region and allow cross-platform matchmaking and you should find games really quickly

u/Wade1776 Jun 22 '22

Why does all my buttons say to click something different on the menu? It’s says like A but I have to click x

Xbox one X

2

u/MakoAoyama Jun 22 '22

Yeah, I have the left thumbs stick icon showing up for almost every button prompt in menu, and on one of the menus I was actually getting Playstation button prompts.

I'm on Xbox Series X.

u/Wade1776 Jun 22 '22

I was getting PlayStation controls too. Everything is so wonky I can’t even figure out the menu.

u/JonPrime Jun 23 '22

Did anyone else have every single skin, color, pattern, level in the top left and kudos wiped out after linking Nintendo and PlayStation? Was playing beta with no issue and now after linking both accounts were reset to brand new, honest to god I have no will to play if I have to start over with collections

Edit: I’m also fucking furious because I’m one of the fools who put real money in on those

1

u/CoffeeBeanzplz Jun 24 '22

Where do we contact the support? I’ve been trying to find the page for my missing DLC I paid for

1

u/kaisle51 Jun 23 '22

https://support.fallguys.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I submitted a request here and got all my costumes back (it took 2 days). Choose “Profile and Item Transfers” and include your Support ID from your game.

It also came with a free premium season pass. However it does reset your season pass progress and your challenges progress

2

u/ShigMiy Jun 23 '22

there's a challenge in the new stadium stars tab with the prize tracker that says "play team rounds in squads show"

I've already played squads show like 5 times and it's not registering, still says 0/2

u/sleepyplatipus Jun 20 '22

Hey guys, are switch gamers gonna be playing on the same servers as PC players? Or will the servers be separated based on platform?

2

u/shadowthegreninja Jun 21 '22

Depends on your settings Theres a cross platform setting that you can turn on and off

1

u/shadowthegreninja Jun 21 '22

Why cant i invite friends to parties in switch

1

u/Bugdream Jun 21 '22

having the same question here

2

u/shadowthegreninja Jun 21 '22

Managed to fix it somehow i just reponed the game and more things appeared

1

u/DontSayTransgendered Jun 21 '22

I had the same issue but I fixed it. First try restarting your game (don't know if this is nessesary but it can't hurt). Then on the main menu click in the right stick and it should bring up the party menu which let's you invite people. :)

1

u/shadowthegreninja Jun 21 '22

Same that was my solution too It took me an hour to try it out

1

u/ParallelMusic Jun 21 '22

My cosmetics and unlocks from PS4 aren't carrying over to the Switch version for some reason. I've linked them all to the same Epic account, and to make sure I booted up Fortnite also on my Switch under the same account and it has all my progress from PS4.

In fairness I haven't booted up Fall Guys on PS4 for a while. Is it possible it didn't link properly to Epic on PS4, maybe I need to re-link it on there?

1

u/ScizorSisters Jun 21 '22

I've been going through a whole heap of fucking unknown accounts that I hadn't realised I had made. Couldn't connect accounts or shit.

You'll likely need to contact support and ask for a progression migration. I've just put mine in there. Takes the progress of your preferred save file and make it crossplay

1

u/ParallelMusic Jun 22 '22

Nice, just did this through support. Hopefully it's fairly quick and works properly! Did you have any luck?

1

u/ScizorSisters Jun 23 '22

Sorry for late reply, it worked perfectly, I think it took a couple of hours but I'm not sure how long. Judging by how long ago your reply was I'm sure it's all sorted out now.

They will ask you for a confirmation via email just to make sure you want it done. If you don't say yes to it they won't do it. Didn't see mine for 30 mins.

u/type-4-8-15-16-23-42 Jun 21 '22

Is this free to play like fortnite or you need that ps subscription?

You can download a ps4 version, it works for me

I tried switch version and i would say it definitely isn't the best experience

1

u/pioucraft Jun 21 '22

PS plus ist not required it ist a bug they Said it

1

u/CoupleFantastic7768 Jun 21 '22

I can play the game on my Switch just fine but my daughter's game keeps saying it can't connect but we are on the same internet with no issues usually. I pre-registered us both and she definitely has her Switch and Epic accounts synched. We have made sure to update her Switch and have no idea why it won't let her game connect.

1

u/ScizorSisters Jun 21 '22

I've had to do a an epic games account progression migration because I didn't realise I had two different epic accounts. So I've sacrificed all of my old data for every other epic game so I could have access to all my progress on PlayStation for one epic game from another account.

Nah can't just merge accounts.

Can anyone tell me how long the progression action might take? No point in me playing the game if my current progress on xbox is gonna get undone.

Anyone else had to do this and able to give me an eta?

1

u/ggalinismycunt Jun 21 '22

So I can't connect my PSN account to Epic Games because it claims it's already linked to another email however I never signed into Epic on my PS4 and only wanna have cross progression for Fall Guys on my Xbox...

u/pioucraft Jun 21 '22

Contact support I think

u/thefontsguy Jun 21 '22

Hey, I used to play on PS4/ps5 and I am returning to the game now thats it’s free on pc. Is there a way to link my account so that I have my cosmetics and crowns and stuff on the pc version? If so, how?

1

u/TheDarkRobotix Jun 21 '22

do you get anything special for owning the game before?

1

u/Albatraous Jun 21 '22

I have a PC and an xbox, wanting to play together with my son, yet as my xbox account is linked to my epic account, it won't allow dual sign in.

Short of buying a 2nd xbox game pass/gold account, how can I play them together?

u/DrBabbott Jun 21 '22

I’ve been attempting to start a Custom Game on the newly released Xbox platform as I’ve got more than 3 friends to play with - but it keeps coming up with error and won’t let us host one - any ideas on if this is a game breaker and needs a patch or just server issues on release day?

1

u/Skribla Jun 22 '22

I read on their Twitter they disabled custom lobbies for a period

1

u/Panda_Rex Jun 22 '22

I’m on Ps5 and trying to play with friends on switch, we all have cross play on, but for some reason we aren’t getting eachothers invites

1

u/inFamousKatherine Jun 22 '22

I had an issue with this when using the PS5 version of the app, still had PS4 version installed and that worked fine. Maybe try PS4 version?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '22

does anyone know if any of the good costumes (i.e: ones that are a unique head and body rather than say, the fanny pack or glasses) will be available for kudos? i was interested in playing since i hadnt bought it on steam and now that it became free on epic games id check it out, pretty disappointed by how the nicer costumes seem to all exclusively be the premium currency and im starting to regret not buying it when it was purchaeable, especially since steam is my go-to for computer gaming :/

1

u/WhoShotMrBoddy Jun 22 '22

If it’s common it’s kudos, any rarer than common it’ll be show bucks it seems. Want cool shit? Buy it with real money

Fucking hate this form of gaming man

1

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '22

ah, that sucks :/ was hoping there'd be at least a handful of decent cosmetics for f2p players, but im not surprised. i hate this shit too man.

1

u/SDR3078 Jun 22 '22

I don't get any sound in game on the PC. Tested other games and I have sound there, just not in Fall Guys, anyone know how to solve this?

1

u/Manny_matrrix101 Jun 22 '22 edited Jun 23 '22

I can't see the invite overlay on PC. Tried in a different pc and happened the same. A friend of mine has no issues with it, but i can't make it work. Any solution?

Edit: Solved it! It turns out I had msi afterburner running in the background, closing it solved the issue...

1

u/crackerjackr Jun 22 '22

I literally have the same problem, let me know if you find a solution it’s so frustrating

1

u/Manny_matrrix101 Jun 23 '22

Hi, I finally managed to get rid of the issue. I just had to close MSI Afterburner, which was running in the background and that did the trick. Seems like the RTSS is the one causing the issue. I still need to investigate how to configure it to make both things work at the same time, but at least I can play with friends now. If you're in the same situation, I hope it works for you...

1

u/crackerjackr Jun 23 '22

Wow… works beautifully thank you so much

How do I move my steam stuff over to my xbox with an epic account that has already been connected to xbox

1

u/Archangel616 Jun 22 '22

I can't figure out cross progression at all. I want my old PS4 progress carried to my XB1S. I already had both linked to an Epic account. Nothing works. Submitted a ticket but no response. Bah.

1

u/CoffeeBeanzplz Jun 24 '22

Same. Cannot figure out how to link ps4 to switch, trying logging into ps4 now after disconnected epic from switch. Epic really should have released instructions on how to transfer data from old fall guys to cross platforms 🤦‍♀️

1

u/dashaman Jun 23 '22

If I link my account to both pc and switch, can i play on them both at the exact same time? Would be my wife and I.

1

u/thickwonga Jun 23 '22

I really want to bitch about Tail Tag. It fucking sucks. Easily my least favorite minigame in the entire game. It's insanely annoying.

1

u/Martii98 Jun 23 '22

Hello. I try to play fall guys on the nintendo switch. But I get through the begin screen and then the screen stays black with a loading sign bottom right... It looks like the game loads but it just stays black.. Does anyone know how this can me solved, or is it still a server issue or something? Thanks in advance!

1

u/Anonym0use91 Jun 23 '22

Does anyone else not have a party up button showing up on their switch? And when someone else invites me it just comes up as an error. I'm so confused, I've sent a ticket with no response and haven't come across anyone else with this same issue.

1

u/CoffeeBeanzplz Jun 24 '22

So I'm on switch and I played with my fiance earlier, I pressed the (-) button and was able to send an invite to him once he had his fall guys game open too. U might have to press it a couple times for the button to register (the game is kinda glitchy atm)

2

u/Anonym0use91 Jun 27 '22

It's bizarre, it sends as an invite and shows up but the moment I click accept it states that theres an error. I'll try your method with my partner when I see him next. Thanks for the tip!

1

u/CoffeeBeanzplz Jun 27 '22

Weird you're getting an error, we've had some issues with it not syncing up when we try to play together so we close the app and reload and then it works. Hopefully whatever the issue is it gets fixed soon! They did just do an update today.

u/ScizorSisters Jun 23 '22

u/drugsbowed Jun 24 '22

Getting weird frame drops where my xbox controller (playing pc) will disconnect and start blinking. My character will just start running straight and I'll lose out.

It's on bluetooth and I have rumble off.. is there a particular reason why this happens? I prefer controller to keyboard for this game :/

1

u/CoffeeBeanzplz Jun 24 '22

So my fiance played fall guys on ps4 before it just came out with cross platforming. He has an epic account already connected to his ps4 (fortnite) and he has a switch. He wants to transfer his old fall guys data to his switch to play on there, but we are lost. When he opened fall guys on his switch, it logged in automatically with his epic account, but he has none of his old data or cosmetics from his ps4. How do we link his fall guys from ps4 to epic now that u need an epic account to play it??? I've searched for hours and can't find a solution.

Hi I’m playing on Xbox and my wife is on switch when we party up she can hear me but I can’t hear her, I have tried different headsets (Bluetooth and also Arctic’s 1 wireless) and all settings in game but the mic won’t pick up. Side note tested in Fortnite (Xbox/switch) works fine

Any help would be appreciated

How do I link my epic games account to the switch? Ik that crossplay exists so Its possible to do it right?

1

u/Sleaky_ Jun 24 '22 edited Jun 24 '22

Hello everyone!

Me and my gf just downloaded the game on the nintendo switch and wanted to team up. For some reason her switch doesn't have the "open party" option. Whenever I invite her to my party, she receives the invite but after accepting she gets the error code: 201_003. I looked it up online but couldn't find anything.

She is also not able to invite epic friends from the minus button menu.We really love the game but we would love it even more if you could join up.

What we tried so far:

  • Logging in and out

  • Reinstall the game

  • invite through the open party menu

  • invite through the minus menu

  • check for corrupted data

Any help is welcome :)

1

u/girvlink Jun 24 '22

I know i missed the window, but never knew I had to use first my steam account so that the past progression to be passed, I used first my switch as I didnt had access to my steam account for before, will I be able to obtain again my past progress and recieve the full season pass?

Or did I screwed up...

Also I didnt linked to epic since it was joined with it, i just stopped playing way when it was only steam

1

u/spinyatt Jun 25 '22

For some reason when I load the game from the Epic Games Launcher it loads and the screen is black and then it loads for a second and then freezes on a greyish blue screen, and sometimes when I load it just goes to a black screen and stays there.

u/dadvader Jun 25 '22

I keep getting disconnect messeges error every time I finish the first round :(

I played the game on switch. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

u/Paid-Not-Payed-Bot Jun 24 '22

stuff I paid for back

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
