How to fix “there was a problem finding a match” error in Fall Guys

From what we’ve seen of the message in the past, this error typically appears when Fall Guys is dealing with worldwide server outages. The problem may be out of your control, but there are numerous ways to confirm this is the case. The first step you should take is to head to Epic Games’ server status webpage. It’s here you can see which features in Fall Guys are currently operational and which are experiencing issues.

If the site does not indicate any problems, it is also worth checking and following Fall Guys’ official Twitter account. Not only does the account provide some subtle humor when the game falls on hard times, but it often updates fans on any ongoing server issues the moment they are discovered.
