It appears that there’s a bug with connecting with Multiplayer Friends on PS4 right now.

I’ve been trying to get people to join my game for the last three or so days with no success. Whenever a friend tries to join me, they get stuck on a loading screen saying “Locating Server”. This screen never changes. This issue has occurred since Software Update 1.99/2.00

What’s weird about this is when they try to join the game, I can see them in the world/map but cannot interact with them. there is an exception to this connectivity problem however, as a few of my PC Friends are able to join me via Crossplay (very convenient as Im using a Keyboard and Mouse to play on PS4)

The strange part of this glitch is that I can join most of my PS4 friends successfully and the game plays like normal, but nobody is able to connect to me. It’s like I’m being forcibly locked out of half the multiplayer service.
