I reinstalled the game, and it was good for about 4 hours.
I booted up today and got hit with "Party member preloading". I changed the DNS(I usually use Open DNS), but no change. I have done everything, and followed every instruction.
I never have issues with other games.
edit: i can invite friends to my party, but I can't ready up or leave afterwards.

Does it seem like this is happening when you squad up with certain friends, or is it just any time you're in a group?

Any group. Also when I queue solo.

It seems the game has issues with my internet connection( I use an ethernet cable).
I decided to try using a mobile hot-spot, and everything was seamless.
Instant matchmaking, no delay of any kind.
I really don't know what to make of it

I'm also having the same issues even after troubleshooting. The cycling and rebooting only works for so long then I have to do it all multiple times a day. No matter who I play with or what servers we are on with pings as low as 62 still this happens. Or either they go into a match and I'm left in the lobby stuck while it shows me players not ready. And later changes to them in a match and I'm left behind.

Hmmm, I see.
If it's not happening when you're connected via hotspot it must be something in your local network. Do you have multiple consoles connecting to the same network?

Sorry, I took a month off the game. I couldn't deal anymore.
I returned, expecting to hop back in with my friends.
"Party not ready", "Party 0/0"
I love this game to pieces, however, I can not spend an hour fiddling with it, just so I can play ONE game- then do it over again.
I appreciate your effort, however, this issue is from the codebase, not me.
There is a post with 37 pages- complaining about this issue, yet it hasn't been noticed.
There is only so much people can take.

Same here, nothing I do helps. For me it started with the new teaser of the new legend. Since then it’s so hard for me to play with my friend . It’s making it very hard for me to want to play
