"MK8 - You were unable to join. Please try again later."

I'm trying to play with a friend, but joining eachothers rooms fail, and we are unable to play together. And the site says that its all complete.

Same problem here, I didn't understand if it should also go on the prod servers or only beta

Other people seem to have the same problem...

[merry sigil]

Yes, I found those threads earlier too while searching

Unfortunately in any thread where the problem is exposed there is no solution or explanation…

(Even though I don't know how long he's been a supporter, maybe he became one after posting the problem... But I noticed that the OP has access to the beta and still has the problem, so I think it should work without problems on the public server too?)

Mario Kart 8 should indeed work for everyone

So the only thing that comes to mind is that there is a NAT issue for one or all players... (for now I'm only testing with one other person)
Does this make sense? (even though it seems strange to me, I should at least have NAT 2 on both networks)

I want to be honest i still didnt try mario kart 8 online but i dont think it's a pretendo issue

maybe something is not working but i dont know how can i help here, i know more about 3DS xd

[merry sigil]

it's just that the mk8 error comes out and that's it, no error code... it becomes a bit complicated to try to understand the origin of the problem...

[merry sigil]

No problem, thanks anyway

[prime osprey]

yea

Here I am again, actually I can't figure out the problem... tried with multiple accounts on two Wii U, I tried to create the group from one console and then from the other but nothing changes... the world matchmaking works, so I would exclude a problem with Pretendo installed or configured incorrectly... thinking it was a network problem I tried to activate UPnP and DMZ on both networks for both Wii U but the situation didn't change... is there anyone who has some advice on what to check? thanks
