- Change region after 3-4 tries at finding a match in that region.
- If you are having an extremely difficult time finding matches, try verifying the integrity of your game files in Resident Evil: Resistance game properties. Details described below.
- Delete your Download Cache. It is found below “Download Region” in the Steam – Settings – Downloads section.
- Hot Locations; France – Paris, US – Atlanta, US – New York, UK-London, Japan – Tokyo. (Change between depending on the locations with most activity in Resistance Stats)

You shouldn’t tell people to do this, the game runs Peer to Peer with the mastermind as host so masterminds changing their region to find games makes the whole match laggy trash for everyone else, ruining the game for everyone but the 1 mastermind player. You’re helping kill this game by making the matches suck by telling people they should do this. You don’t even advise in the article that this will cause a laggy match for everyone if you are the mastermind, which is the absolute least you could do. Thanks for helping ruin a game we all love, you suck.
