Some players have misunderstood the new Auto Join feature as a Queue system. To clarify, it is not a queue but rather a tool that allows you to automatically attempt reconnection to a server, particularly useful when the server you're on is full. It operates similarly to manually joining but aims to streamline the process and save you clicks. However, you can still opt to join manually if you prefer.

almost every server is 70/70 there is no way these are real numbers this has to be some kind of bug

EDIT: there are over 60,000 playing on steam alone not including xbox so I guess the numbers are real damn

How hard is it to put a queuing feature in the loader????? Most of the time, the auto join picks me, another login beats me to it and I get server is full. In a true queuing login, once my ticket gets called, I will get in. People would not get as frustrated if it said they were 50th in line as they do getting started and then bumped. PLEASE FIX IT. I am a computer programmer and I can attest that it is not that hard.

Auto-Join is not a Queue feature. It's a "Join your last server" feature.
You aren't holding a line in a queue waiting for your ticket to be called.
It is not meant to be a queue feature.

Do not expect "Auto-Join" to put you into a queue, that is not what it does or how it is intended to work in any way.

Looking at the process and network trafic, it doesn't even attempt to connect to the server, I really wonder what's the purpose of creating a fake feature like that.

Yeah I've found I have better luck retrying myself, rather than relying on whatever the game's auto retry feature is doing. It's a pity they won't implement queues but this was asked on Discord a while back and they gave some poor excuse about it being unfair for PvP apparently. Simple solution, make it a configurable feature, enable for PvE servers and disable for PvP servers, problem solved. Sadly they won't do it though.

Autojoin hasn't worked for 9 years. Wildcard are the worst developers on Steam 🤮
