Clash Royale, once one of Supercell’s crown jewels, has a huge player base. However, in recent times, the game has faced criticism due to its increasing pay-to-win elements. Despite these concerns, Clash Royale still holds a place in the hearts of many players and clearly, you too are one of them. Anyway, if you have been facing issues with the 2v2 mode in Clash Royale, don’t worry. In this guide, we’ve shared everything we know about the problem, along with some workarounds to help you fix it.
According to recent reports, both the 2v2 event and the classic 2v2 mode in Clash Royale are not working. And even if it does work, players are having to face excessively long matchmaking times. It is affecting everyone at this moment, which means this is a major issue. That said, you must be wondering whether the developers have acknowledged the problem or if there is a fix around the corner. Or perhaps something even bigger! Let’s find out.
Clash Royale 2v2 not working: How to fix it
One player mentioned that the reason for the 2v2 mode’s issues in Clash Royale could be related to the rumor of the introduction of a 2v2 ladder mode. While there is no official confirmation from Supercell at the time of writing, the rumor has gained traction, with various threads discussing it and numerous YouTube videos speculating on the possibility. Given that only the 2v2 modes went down without explanation, there may be some truth to these rumors, and a major update could be on the horizon. In the meantime, while hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, you can try the following workarounds to see if the mode starts working again.
Restart the Game and Your Device
One of the simplest and most effective fixes is to restart both the game and your device. Close the Clash Royale app completely, restart your phone or tablet, and then relaunch the game. If you are lucky, this simple fix will get the job done.
Check Your Internet Connection
A stable and strong internet connection is a must, especially in multiplayer modes like 2v2. So, make sure that your Wi-Fi or mobile data connection is reliable. You can try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa to see if it improves matchmaking times. If your internet connection is weak or unstable, it could be the reason for the long wait times or failure to start matches.
Don’t Use VPN
Using a VPN can sometimes interfere with how Clash Royale connects to the game’s servers, leading to slower matchmaking or complete disconnections in 2v2 mode. If you have a VPN enabled, try turning it off and then restarting the game.
Clear Data and Cache & Force Stop the App (Android Only)
For Android users, clearing the app’s cache and data can help fix lingering bugs or performance issues. Go to your device settings, navigate to “Apps,” find Clash Royale, go to Storage, and select “Clear Cache” and “Clear Data”. Additionally, select the “Force Stop” option. After this, launch the game, log in with your account and then check whether the issue persists.
Reinstall the Game
Lastly, if none of the above workarounds are of help, reinstalling Clash Royale is the only option left. First, uninstall the game from your device and then download it again from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Maybe with a fresh, up-to-date version of the app, you will not face any bugs that are affecting the 2v2 mode. Just make sure your game progress is saved through Supercell ID before uninstalling.
Well, we hope these workarounds resolved the issue for you and that you’re back to enjoying 2v2 battles in the game. Also, we remain optimistic that the rumors about a 2v2 ladder are true, and we may soon see an exciting update in Clash Royale that brings this new feature to the game. Fingers crossed!
