v.81 is now available for Ashes of the Singularity, check out the changelog below:

  • Fixes & Improvements

    • Improved matchmaking so players are more likely to get matched to their appropriate skill level

    • Adjusted custom lobby filters so that global games would be visible

    • Fixed incorrect winning team sometimes being reported to stats in Ranked Matches

    • Fixed opponent name sometimes not updated in multiple consecutive Ranked Matches

    • Fixed player rank incorrectly displaying in the loading screen

    • Fixed shields wouldn’t display for certain substrate units

    • Fixed incorrect icon displaying for some players in Ranked matches

    • Made bandwidth optimization related to construction queues

    • Avatar Orbital Ability cost increased

"Failed to start matchmaking" is what I get if I try and do ranked play. After I hit the "Enter Queue" button.

Substrate or PHC?

Please try quitting Ashes entirely, starting it again, and re-enter the queue.

I was able to reproduce this issue tonight and grab some debug logs from the matchmaking server. This should help us track down the issue.

Thanks!
