Hey guys, we're actively investigating the issue where people cannot find matches. We're also exploring to see what matchmaking settings we can default to in the meanwhile until we get the issue resolve, but even that will require a bit of research first before we just do it.

I'll keep this thread updated, thank you for your patience!

What? A mac address is a unique Id which is kinda built (read branded) into networking hardware. You can not change or "clear" it at all. A System could have the ability to ignore the "real hardware mac" and spoof another one instead (i.e. macchanger on unix systems). As far as I know there is no such mechanism build into the PS4. If I'm honest I see no real use case to change the network mac on an xbox either, but please correct me if I'm wrong

Hey guys, we've temporarily removed the matchmaking based on OVR logic. Long story short, insert technical jargon here, which is why some people weren't able to find opponents.

This was a rare case that didn't get picked up during testing, but we're going to fix that and try to get OVR matchmaking back. Thanks again for your patience!

All I know is, every time I've ever talked to EA support about any connection issues..They instruct me to go to clear mac address on my Xb1. It restarts the console, and is in network settings.
