Fall Guys Stuck on Looking for Players Error Explained

If you find yourself stuck on the Looking for Players screen, you might be wondering if you’ll ever find players to match with.

This can be a number of different factors, but the most common one is a serverside issue on Mediatonic’s end. If you’re playing on a popular day like the start of a new season or big event, chances are the servers are getting slammed. There isn’t anything you can do to fix that problem, you’ll just have to keep your eye on the Fall Guys Twitter account to see what’s going on.

However, it could also be a problem on your end. So restart the game and try again. If the problem persists, you can attempt to reset your router and see if that fixes anything. These aren’t guaranteed to work, especially if the problem is on the server’s end, but it’s worth a shot, beats falling into oblivion.
