Empty servers

So for the past 2 days I have been unable to find a single multiplayer game of anything. I read that many people have some kind of a problem with the servers or something like that. Everything is running just fine on my end and it is really strange that there is not a single game of anything.  PC player base is not all that huge but there were at least a few sessions running on Turf, mix mode and team vanquish in Europe just 2 days ago. I hope they fix the problems soon. First I thought that all the kids went to school and they cannot play anymore or something but it is late september so that is not the case. And yeah not all of the player base are kids, at least I hope that I am not the only manchild playing this game :D

  • I cannot vouch for the PC player base, but the console player base is pretty solid both on XBoX and Playstation, at least on the NE and European servers. If you go back to the posts on this forum sent during the past couple of weeks there seems to be a number of max rankers on both PC and console who are finding well-populated servers. So am a mite surprised that you are having difficulty in finding games to join .........all depending of course on what time of the day you are playing.

    Yesterday, I couldn't join any game on any server. It would just kick me out. Today, I was able to join, but every single server was empty. Usually, at this time I was able to find some pretty full lobbies. I'm on PC

  • The multiplayer portal kickouts seem to have been more persistent lately.  Sometimes you've just gotta keep on trying or restart the app.  It's not due to a lack of players, that will just put you in an empty lobby.

  • Well I know for sure that something is wrong. Either other people have some kind of a problem or I am being put on an empty lobby all the time. The fact is that something went wrong few days ago and caused that me and other players are not able to find a single game. Under normal circumstances this problem would already have been fixed. But I do not know whether POPCAP is even reading these posts. 

    Just now I tried to join a game and lo and behold I found a lobby of 3 people. But that is it. I tried to find a game for the past 3 days. I tried during various hours but there were never like populated lobbies. The only two I found were today and one yesterday with 4 people. Both of those times the turf map was Wallnut Hills because that is the first map in the rotation.

    I wonder if there is a single soul out here who is finding lobbies because it really seems that the pc users have some kind of an issue with the game.

    PC NA East here and I've been finding full and nearly full lobbies on TT consistently when I play MP matches. I have seen errors where it boots me out too but even when the game was at its player peak, I've had this. What I have encountered seems to be that the online matches are full so it has to put me into what amounts to an overflow lobby until there's room when I'm put into a lobby alone or with maybe 1 or 2 other players. If I leave and jump  back in, I've been able to get into a full match eventually, but the portal has been rough to get into lately. I find if it's taking a long time, I'll jump out and try again and that seems to work at least some of the time.
