Rule out a platform mismatch before changing network settings

Bandai Namco's FAQ explicitly limits cross-generation compatibility to PlayStation generations and Xbox generations separately. A shared password cannot bridge PC and console. When a supported group still fails, the publisher asks players to align several lobby and version settings.

Run the publisher's lobby preflight

Remembrance progress can also prevent matching if multiple party members are advancing personal goals at once. Bandai Namco says the player progressing a Remembrance should start matchmaking first; other players can deactivate their own Remembrance from the Journal when appropriate.

  1. Confirm the intended platform family and that every player is online on the current game server.
  2. At Roundtable Hold, set the same expedition target and choose Multiplayer rather than Single Player.
  3. If using a password, compare every character exactly; passwords are case-sensitive.
  4. Compare the app version and regulation shown on the title screen, then align the out-of-region matchmaking setting.
  5. If a Remembrance is active for more than one player, have the progressing player initiate the search first; others can review Journal settings.
  6. Only after those checks, exit matchmaking and restart the game as the official FAQ suggests; record the exact error before contacting platform support.

Frequently asked questions

Can a password enable PlayStation-to-PC play?

No. The official FAQ says platform crossplay is unavailable; passwords only help within supported platform matchmaking.

Should every player deactivate Remembrance?

Not necessarily. Bandai Namco says only one progressing player can pursue personal goals in Limveld at a time; have that player initiate matchmaking first.

Can this page inspect current server status?

No. The worksheet records what you observe; it does not query matchmaking or connect to your game.
