EU servers

[Gasoline]

anyone else experience long wait times and practically empty servers on EU at all times recently? we are getting games with 2-4 other people

[King]

yes, been like this since past 3-4 days not sure whats going on.

They added a ping limit in the background , if u play with over 100 ms get ready to get thrown into a queue with only high ping players . I dont know whats ur ping but i guarantee its over 100

[Gasoline]

my pings 30-42 but ty for the gaurantee i guess

[King]

U think so? i have 60 ping. Why am i finding instant matches as a soul survivor in EUR server?

[Bimmelkaes]

no , plenty of squared names to fill these spaces

[Gasoline]

In duo we wait almost 5 minutes + to find a match and when we do its normally us and another team, maybe 2 teams if we're lucky. Can't be a 100+ ping que as if I switch to us east where I ping 110 the games are full and instant almost

Nope, everything was fine for me and my teammates. Gonna check myself again today later and post here. We need to make a controlled environment to run these tests to check if server is ok or not.

There's also a possibility that you were shadowbanned. Not blaming or accusing you of anything but the issue is real, it's not the first thread about matchmaking and accessibility.

Yeah i haven't experienced any super-long matchmaking times or empty lobbies either, something is going on.

It could also be because people returned to their own servers, causing them to be dispersed.
EU is not as important as he thought, people chose EU just because it was easier to match when they got together.
If there are only 10k people online and they are dispersed to their respective servers, then there won't be many people on each server, especially since there are no events currently being held.Assuming that the EU server has the most local people, and the remaining population is divided among several other servers, the EU may only have a few thousand people.A population of 10K4, assuming the EU has the most players, then other servers have 3-4K people, such as larger servers in the Americas, followed by Asian servers, so European servers may only have 1K more people than them.

has nothing to do with ping limit, it's not limiting anyone. you just have to wait for russians, kazakhs and chinese to turn on their pcs if you want full EU lobbies

It could also be caused by a more complex MMR matching mechanism, because when I first played Hunt, there were only 6K people online, but the matching was not as slow as it is now.
But Hunt is like this, every update comes with more new issues, and what's even more frightening is that I've gotten used to it.
