Naughty Dog may have plotted an almost flawless transition to the PlayStation 4, but it did mess up one aspect of The Last of Us in converting it to Sony’s next-gen console. Since launch, there have been many complaints regarding the title’s multiplayer matchmaking, which functions, but, well, not as well as it should. In order to address the situation, the firm’s deployed a bunch of live updates – but now it’s followed up with a full patch.
“As many of you may know, especially if you are among the many, many, many people who have been playing our Factions multiplayer mode, some people have been experiencing long wait times while trying to find a match,” community strategist Arne Meyer wrote on the developer’s official website. “Things have definitely improved, but there still remains work for us to get the matchmaking experience where we feel that it should be.”
Patch v1.02 represents the studio’s latest attempt at solving this issue, and it’s out now in North America. “We are working to have the patch deployed in Europe as soon as possible over the weekend, and we expect the patch to be deployed in Asia next week,” the company spokesperson continued. “Once the patch has been deployed, the team here will be keeping a close eye on the time that it takes to find a match among our player community so that we can continue to address this issue.”

Although the wait times are sometimes longer than expected, it doesn't seem to bother me. I never have enough time to finish customising my character and load outs
This really bothered me, but the update actually improved it a lot. There are still some issues where you get kicked out and it has to start over again, but the waiting time has drastically improved.
I havent got the update as yet but the wait times for me were intermittent . Some fast, some ok, some slooooooow.
Ill have a go tonight, Im a big fan of the MP.
I tried factions the other day after finishing the campaign again and I couldn't find a match and spent almost an hour trying so I'm glad this patch is happening. Still absolutely gutted my factions stats don't carry over from the ps3 version
I found that it loads a lot quicker when you click on the "allow parties" option
Since the patch released, I've had no issues.
Which is weird, because the patch isn't out yet where I live
@PoNY_LTD I second tht
I still can't get into any games at 10pm EST. Everything I tried it would either sit there and not find a game, or find a game then lose connection to the host. I REALLY wanted to try the MP once finishing the main SP campaign but looks like it's back to the SP until the fix it more, it seems awesome I just want to play it.
