Payday 3is a lot of fun, but it is not without issues. The matchmaking error has been a common problem that players are running into. It will strike as you are trying to load into a lobby, and sadly, it doesn’t discriminate between trying to play solo, with friends, or going on a heist with strangers. If you have been getting hit by this one, we have some things that might help.
Matchmaking Error in Payday 3, explained
This is an annoying error because it could be you or it could be the servers. As such, there are a number of things to check before resigning yourself to needing to wait for the devs to solve whatever server problems are ongoing.
No shade to the devs, but the most likely issue is that the servers are just down, but they have been getting more and more stable as time goes on. I would advise you to be patient in these circumstances. It might be an obvious thing to say, but keeping the infrastructure for these games up and running can be a very difficult thing, so sit back, relax, and the devs will have it solved for us as soon as they can.
