Multiplayer game not showing in the list

[Drasta]

Hi, together with my girlfriend we both purchased a copy of the game so we could play together but on average, it takes about an hour to actually find the existing game in the game list. Is there any workaround? Why is this happening?

If this is your thought currently you are experiencing the up to 2 hours Server Browser delay problems that are currently ongoing.
Apologies for that right away.
It's not just you that is experiencing it and the team is already working on the fix.
The game you are looking for should show up very soon.

Interested in more details about the problem?:
The problem can be described the easiest as a "delay in servers showing up"

So if you restart your dedicated server or start your multiplayer game it will not be directly visible in the server browser.
Important note: if you see your server after a restart or while it's offline, but get an "could not connect" this is likely not your restarted server,
but rather the session from before the restart; so that error is expected since the session ID has changed with each restart.

The problem is only "unbearable" on high peaks, so throughout the week or in the mornings all should be working as expected.
Currently the highest delay monitored was 2h, so while there may be some cases with longer delays, this however was the maximum delay monitored, average is much less.
Reactions from the community confirmes what our Team found the issue for the delays to be, so that in lower peak times the problem is non existent.

Our recommendation until the fix is to not unnecessarily restart servers & set automatic restarts to a less active time like the early morning.

Please stay patient & Happy Farming if you made it onto your Multiplayer game.
