Elden Ring stuck on “Please wait until all fighters have assembled” (explained)

The Colosseum update brought significant changes that made the game more fun. While we were talking about how perfectly Elden Ring delivers a PvE experience, the developers have launched a PvP mode with the Colosseum. That being said, players can compete in 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 scenarios to have fun. This game also has the standard PvP matchmaking rule. This means that the game will not start until you have all the required players in the lobby. For most Elden Ring players, the game is stuck on the message “Please wait until all the fighters have gathered”. This has caused a lot of annoyance and hence we are here with a possible solution to fix this issue. Read this guide through to the end for fixes.

Here’s what you can do to get the job done.

Check your internet connection

It may sound silly, but the Internet can fall behind when we least expect it. Hence, it is recommended to close the game and restart the router along with the device. This will give the system a much needed reboot before entering another session.

Disable firewall and antivirus

In many cases, your system’s security systems are causing problems in the game. This could be one of the reasons Elden Ring gets stuck on the “Please wait until all fighters have assembled”message. Moreover, such blocking deprives the game of the possibility of full access to the server. Therefore, it is recommended to temporarily disable your antivirus and firewall and check if that solves the problems.
