"Retrieving matchmaking data"

I am very disappointed. I tried to play the Titanfall beta, got 3 games in, then got kicked out. As I tried to go and play the multiplayer again, it came up with "retrieving matchmaking list", a notification that basically told me you can't play this game.
I was sad that I couldn't play anymore but looked forward to the games release, not losing hope that it would be fixed by the time it came out. Here I am now, just installing the game and exited to play. When I hit play, the same accursed "retrieving
matchmaking list" came up and i couldn't believe it. Microsoft had several weeks to fix this problem and now I can't play this amazing game that I've waited so long to play. I know that playstation is laughing their butts off right now.

Titanfall "Data Center Searching" or "Retrieving Matchmaking List"????

Hi I've done all the suggestions on this site, and others.

I'm on xbox one...

I have the pleasure of the occasional full game, sadly it says I've completed the game... But as I was dropped into the levels just before they ended... I'm sure you will agree I have not had the pleasure or satisfaction of playing this game through from
start to finish properly.

Sometimes it's quick to load,and I actually get on, others it's slow and times out saying SERVER FAILED!

Other times I'm in the middle of the game when a grey box pops up saying trying to re-connect to surver... Which on a rare occasion it does, but 8/10 times it fails and shows a page where the message is server timed out, cannot connect to server, server
failed.

I can play every other game I own on xbox one, 360 and our ps4 with no problems, so why do you think that every machine out there is at fault?

Does it not make much more sense that it's your servers that can't handle the volume of players to this online-only game?

Is that why EA have decided to let playstation have Titanfall 2 instead of it being exclusive too xbox... Which will be bad for you if you haven't resolved the server issue and playstation do not have the same issues as xbox!

 

I was also stuck on the "Retrieving matchmaking list..." and i noticed that my serverlist (bottom right) was blank.

After chasing this around a bunch, it turns out, there is an issue with older model Belkin routers and Titanfall. I found a post from some employee at Belkin with a workaround that fixed the issue for me.

Under settings >> network >> advanced network settings >> dns / manual >> change your primary dns to 8.8.8.8 and secondary to 4.2.2.2 (might have to switch the order of these around)

save/test and bang, that fixed the problem for me.

I wish i knew what the actual incompatibility with the router was, and even further i would have loved it if EA or somebody would own the issue and possibly work on a fix for it. Down the line i dont want to have to go through this everytime a game comes
out. What if next time the netgear xyz is not compatible or the blah blah ... the point is, your game is supposed to work with networking hardware and other typical setups.

 

That just sounds like a port forward issue, not really a "certain" router issue. The "brand" of the router shouldnt make a difference, just saying.
