the connection to matchmaking server failed

did you try a reset of your network (modem and router) ?

While looking around for a propable solution to the issue you are experiencing, I found out that the servers of Titanfall have problems. This is what i found out from other gamers with the same issue:

"If you find yourself stuck on Titanfall’s ‘Initializing’ screen then you may as well cancel the attempt and retry another connection.

The reason for this is because – when stuck on the ‘Initializing’ screen – no data is actually being sent from Titanfall to the servers, meaning you’d actually be left on the screen indefinitely.

The only solution is to cancel and repeat, hoping that you can manage to connect. This solution to Titanfall’s ‘Initializing’ problem even comes endorsed by the publishers.

Some gamers have also suggested repeatedly attempting to connect to Titanfall’s servers. By repeatedly requesting a connection you may manage to finally connect with the server, bypassing the ‘Initializing’ step entirely and getting you into the game.

We’ve had limited success with this, but it’s certainly an option to try – letting off some frustration if nothing else.

As for the ‘Attempting Connection’ Titanfall problem, what you need to do is change the data centres that you’re attempting to connect to.

While normally you would want to connect to data centres closest to you, switching the server you’re connecting to will refresh the connection and help making that first connection go through.

If Titanfall continually cycles through ‘Attempting Connection’, then cancel, switch data centres and try again. It won’t always work, but should help you get into a game sooner"

Hope this gamers'solution helps you!

Was good since launch. Just threw it in now and said failed to connect to matchmaking server. I usually connect with no probs to the US East. Now its just sitting there. Oh wells, will try tomorrow.

I'm in the same boat - in chch, nz with telstraclear. Unfortunately private matches are p2p, so should connect without issues (and I assume horde/beast), but any hosted matches will not connect for me. Wasted over thirty min tonight trying to play vs some
real people, to no avail.

The solution, to me, would be to allow us to search by server (like bf3), or failing that allow us kiwis to matchmake with the west coast of the USA, and/or Australian servers.

I'm pretty sure it has a matchmaking server tho, and then the connections all join up using P2P as the maps are server side but the actual game play is P2P.
