I have found that I need to change the ping site every time after returning to menu. Everytime I return to the menu my ping site resets to my default ping site unfortunately my default ping site will only produce error 1066 or empty dead lobbies. However I find that launching a search then changing to my second closest ping and sitting in the EA accounts screen tends to work 80% of the time. Hope this helps until the fix.
Changing servers does not work anymore. Only to a very very limited extent. I have 99% failurerate menawhile.
This shows up 100% of the time. Always empty Servers. On top of that no one else can spawn in other as when they are joining as friend.
This must be fixed TOP PRIORITY.
I have many friends EU/US. All have the same problem. I have also seen this on Twitch.
How emberassing !
Only way for me to play right now is joining in to players that for some reason manage to get into a crowded lobby.@-DW-GarthRevan I'd say this is definitely a priority and probably why it was mentioned by F8rge so quickly after the update as per the link in one of my posts above. There is no one I play the game with who is not experiencing these problems after the last update and considering how many people on AHQ are experiencing the same issues I'd say its a definite game breaker. I can believe that you're getting that sort of failure rate by now, I haven't bothered in about 4days now but when I did its as if the problem was becoming progressively worse. After the update it worked fine, if I recall correctly for a day or so. Then I believe it was the Friday after the update that my issues began. I was able to play then with the work arounds but it's almost as if the work arounds gradually started working less and less frequently until I thought you know what f**k this s**t it's too long. I really hope they fix this quickly.
Can confirm that changing ping sites doesn't work anymore. I tried Tino's suggestion last night and it did not work, sadly. I was able to finally get into a game of Galactic Assault on the Ohio server after almost 45 minutes of trying... But after that, it was back to empty lobbies.
I am frequently in games where people start leaving, and it never fills up again. If I wait, I am eventually the only one in the room. Something doesn't work right in their system when it comes to prioritizing whether to start new rooms or fill existing ones. I really wish the matchmaking system had a merging feature...so if there are too many half-empty rooms, it would combine the players into one game. In Hero Starfighters, it is game-killing to have to wait and wait and wait every time the teams get unbalanced. I don't think the system handles this properly when it comes to matching new players into games.
Before this new, game-breaking issue I also had this problem...particularly in starfighters. If they insist on keeping a matchmaking system, something like you describe would surely be nice. However, as MANY others have said, a server browser would eliminate almost all of the issues we have.
