Can’t find Players in Online Mode

We can’t get games to run smoothly from the very first day onwards. Things like that don’t happen anymore. And Sniper Elite 5 is no exception. It comes with great gameplay and graphics, but it also comes with a basket full of glitches, lags, and stutters. The multiplayer and the online experience also suffer a lot due to these issues. The devs are constantly rolling out updates to fix the known issues. Update the game entirely and if the matchmaking issues persist, try the following ways.

  1. Check if the crossplay is enabled.
    It will let you interconnect with the PC and Console Players, thus allowing more possibilities of getting teammates.
  2. Add other players as friends
    Add new players as friends in the game so that you can start with them if the Online queue is populated
  3. Choose from a wide range of matches
    Instead of selecting only a specific game mode, toggle that option to ‘Any’ to get through any matches. You always might not end up with the game mode you love, but you will be able to play the game on the less populated servers.

Sniper Elite Infinite Search Fix

You can try doing the following things to fix the infinite Search in Sniper Elite 5.

  1. Try rebooting the game.
    Sometimes a complete shutdown and restarting of a game can fix many bugs and issues. Always try rebooting the game before matchmaking for the first time.
  2. Try joining a different game mode
    Sometimes widening your matchmaking to “Any” helps fix the infinite search bug.
  3. Check Sniper Elite Servers
    Keep an eye on the Sniper Elite V’s Twitter account to get updates on whether the game servers are down or not. They update everything on their Twitter handle.

If you are still getting errors in joining online matches, you can send a support ticket to Rebellion for more help.
