Has anyone been getting lots of empty servers lately in US west?

[Jerry San]

The last week I have been in like runs of empty servers which has never happened before. at a normal evening time at 8-10 I will be having normal full lobbies and then a run of three empty lobbies back to back, which leads to me quitting out of boredom. Is anyone else having this issue?

The Developers issued a notice that you should not do this. They system is designed to progress to the end. And it is no indicator that your match will not have players in it.

I can confirm this. I get plenty of good games while letting the match making timer run to the end of 5 minutes. (happens in the early morn)


Its mostly luck in a low pop environment you cannot influence it by interrupting the match maker.

Well then Crytek is lying to our faces yet again and so are you. I have restarted queue several times and it finds a match instantly but if I let it fill up I will have an empty game. Been playing for literal years and have always done this and found it to be true. So my experiences cannot lie but Crytek sure can.

To the OP, I play mostly on US East but I have also experienced wayyy more empty lobbies than I ever have. I even played for 12 hours (9am-9pm) and I only had about 4 games with people in it..all the rest were empty.

"it's worked the same since the beginning, it going to the end does not mean it is empty, it means it isnt the max amount to start.

it starting before matchmaking is done doesnt mean it is full, it can also be put into a lobby almost at the end of the matchmaking timer"

"in any case canceling and restarting just creates more empty lobbies since if its 3 teams of 3 and a team of 2 in there and all teams of 3 restart the team of 2 will go into the game alone."

yup, it would appear that even the creator doesn't know what he is talking about...... I'm sorry guys, think this game is truely screwed if What Duncan posted is any bit true

Kind of makes sense, to be honest, for the game to be in the state its in with the leadership so far gone.....
