Anyone knows how i can actually play the game without waiting 40 minutes?

Rhe2veja

My friend just send me the hellraiser chapter for my birthday, but there´s a little inconvenient you can´t play the game if it never finds a match and if it does it´s premade, there´s an actual solution for this or i´m just doomed to wait?

I just want to play the game man, am i asking too much?

People say it's faster to get a game in the evening as Killer but for me, it doesn't matter the time of day.

I've been waiting 20+ Mins for every one of my Killer games since SBMM was enabled.

Fun.

Same. Matchmaking is super slow for me as killer. I switched to survivor and it loaded me into one quickly.

Its because they released only a new killer, so more people are playing killer to play him and use his perks on other killers. I'd give it a week and killer queues should be shorter at night again. Pretty much every chapter is like this.

Yeah, only real option is play survivor for a while because everyone wants to play killer right now.

This was a killer only chapter so there are more killers playing than usual. This is typical for chapters and causes increases to killer queue times. It will even out in a couple weeks.

Yeah I've found that I'm waiting at least 4 minutes to find survivors.

It's a factor I believe. But I also think the higher people's MMR is, the longer it's going take them to find a match.

I've only been waiting 3-5 mins for a match as killer. I've been playing after dinner so that's usually the busiest time.

Playing earlier in the day works for me. Anytime after about 6pm is terrible for me survivor or killer

I haen't been having horribly long q times, but I've got two recommendations:

1. Watch a video while you wait*, occasionally checking to make sure the match hasn't started yet.
2. Play with your friends/online acquaintances on a custom match.

A lot of people are playing pinhead so maybe that’s part of why killer queue times are long.

It took a bit for me to get my first Pinhead game. Everyone else has been 5 minutes or less.

5 minutes is perfect for me though. I have to smoke before each trial......

Its like you guys have never played this game before. Killer waiting times are always big after a new Killer comes out.

Play Survivor and wait a few weeks.
