Check your game version to ensure it's the same as your friends', as inconsistent updates can cause connection issues. Make sure you and your friends are on the same server region; otherwise, you might not be able to join their matches. Additionally, verify your NAT type in the game's network settings; types 2 (Moderate) or 3 (Strict) could hinder joining friends. Ensuring proper game installation and checking for any firewall restrictions can also help in resolving this problem.
