Bot Backfill nerfed in small markets
Noticed this yesterday. Played the new maps for a while, then decided to go back to the vanilla maps. In the past, if you waited a couple of minutes, and not enough players were waiting, the bots would automatically backfill so that a game could start.
This seems to have been disabled for the vanilla maps.
In smaller markets, this means that a new game will never spin up.
I guess DICE are trying to get players onto the new map, and save server costs.
This may not be a problem in larger markets, but is a real issue for smaller markets e.g. Oceania, where there are never enough players to spin up a server unless backfill is enabled.
Hope DICE reverse this soon!
