Is nobody playing the extra content?
Hmm, residentevil.net says there are 106634 online players, 16578 registered at residentevil.net.

I just did a search for any gamemode - 7 campaigns, and absolutely 0 games for any of the extra content.

According to all those threads here on the forum, you'd think that people want to play the extra content.

I find matches for No Mercy or Predator once in a while, but with 100k players around the globe I'd expect to find a game at any time of the day, even when it's some guy on the other half of the planet with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ping ever.

What's the deal here? Is the search for all extra content broken?

Search is broken far as I heard... Networking issues and all.

People have to do the old-school way of manually finding people and inviting them to their game.

I said there was a problem the 2nd day of launch and people called me a troll. I wish it worked smoothly like console, but we are screwed.

Not sure if search is broken... At the moment there are not even 1000 players playing RE6 (probably half private, half with coop partner et voilà, no games available). If only 1000 play the game at a time... how big is the chance that, if you create a Predator game for example, 3-5 people join your game in that exact moment. It's small. Especially since RE normally is pretty campaign mode focussed. And if nobody joins, people leave the lobby after a minute because they are not patient enough. Results are, you have to be lucky to find a lobby. Better chances if you create one yourself... but only if you show some patience. :D Or invite friends of course.

But that there are not even campaign mode lobbys (since the game has drop-in/-out coop, right?) is... interesting to say the least.
I found an intersection partner playing Ada yesterday for the first time while I played Leon, quite cool, hehe. (And that chance is really small since you need to find someone who is in the exact same spot of the other campaign within 60 seconds. Sometimes I wish there was no counter and just let it search for 5 minutes to increase the chance, because it is a hell lot of fun).

Anyway, you can always see how many are currently playing by clicking on Community Hub for RE6 in your Steam Library.
The green number will show you how many players there are.

Every once in a while I find a game. I also never (okay, never is not true but most of the time) had problems finding Agent Hunt games. But I did not even try it when less than 2000 people were in-game. And also I never saw 3000 people playing RE6 at the same time.

Add and ask friends to play with you, that way I already have played around 3-5 hours (I guess) of Predator and Survivor within two days.


Edit: Oh, and join the official Steam group chat (also community hub), good chance to find someone.
