R.E.P.O. Matchmaking Explained

Looking forward to REPO joining the matching system? You are not alone! Since the game was released, players have been calling for the addition of public lobbies to easily team up with random teammates without the cumbersome invitation process. The good news is: the development team is working hard! The bad news is: It's complicated...but it will happen soon!

Here is more information on why REPO does not have a matching system, what challenges are facing development teams, and when (or whether) will launch a public lobby.

Why does REPO have no matching system?

According to game developer Semiwork, they did not expect the game to be so popular. In their words:

"Our game REPO unexpectedly hits the scene."

There was no matching system when it was initially released, and they had no idea how many players would need this feature. Now that the game has become one of the popular games on Steam’s best-selling list, the demand is obvious, and the development team is working to add matching lobbies.

But the problem is.

The Dilemma between Cheaters and MOD

The biggest obstacle to adding a matching system is the cheater. If you have played any online game, you know that the public lobby will attract cheaters, thus destroying the gaming experience for all players.

The usual solution? Anti-cheating system.

But things get tricky:

• The anti-cheating system will block most MODs.
• REPO has a growing MOD community.
• The development team does not want to kill MOD support.

Therefore, semiwork faces a dilemma:

1. Cheaters are allowed to destroy the public hall.
2. Added anti-cheating system, but broke the MOD.

This is why they look to the community for a solution to this problem without compromising MOD support.

When will the matching system be launched?

Currently, the developers mentioned that they plan to add this feature with updates in the near future. Learn more here . They only need some time to solve the cheating problem.

Conclusion

The matching system is about to land on REPO, but the development team is still working to overcome major obstacles—mainly how to deal with cheaters without breaking MOD support. Before that, if you need teammates, you need to form your own team.
