Invading other players’ games is a key part of Elden Ring, especially during the endgame. Unfortunately, players can get stuck on the pesky “Attempting to invade another world” message, with the game unable to find anyone to play against. Thankfully, there are some workarounds to help solve this issue. Here’s how to fix the Elden Ring can’t invade or find players errors.
How to fix the Elden Ring can’t invade or find players errors
To fix the Elden Ring can’t invade or find players errors, players should:
- Try invading from a different location.
- The game takes your location and level into consideration. If you’re a higher level player hanging around the beginning of the game, try traveling to a later part of the map.
- Invade from one of the popular PvP locations.
- A week after launch, many players are hanging around the Church of Elleh. We quickly found three worlds to invade.
- Search at a peak time for your region.
- Searching for players during periods where most people in your region are asleep will likely lead to longer matchmaking times. Try again in a couple of hours.
- Make sure Elden Ring servers are up.
- As with most online games, Elden Ring can be subject to server maintenance. Check the official @EldenRing Twitter account for any news of scheduled (or unplanned) downtime.
- Leave the game searching in the background.
- It’s sometimes worth leaving the game searching for a match while you do something else. Keep an ear out for the game alerting you to a successful invasion, otherwise you’ll give the opposition an easy victory!
