Re: Joining empty lobbies/servers

Hey everyone!

I decided to merge a few threads to make the communication with the affected players easier. I'm sorry for stealing your thread to do that @JonBlu_M8 😳

Like I mentioned before, problem with empty lobbies/servers has been investigated by our specialists and we're getting some changes coming to matchmaking in the September update, which should address that. More on that in an upcoming Community Transmission 🙂

What is happening to this game? I literally can never play anymore due to constant empty lobbies, the pingsite fixes don't work anymore either. This is a ridiculous game-breaking bug and seems prevalent enough that this should be an emergency priority right now. How long is this going to be broken?

Just to add in my 2 cents worth experience.
I'm on PC in US. I could get into matches fine a couple months ago. To see if I could fix a graphic issue I was having, I did an Uninstall and re-download/install (mine takes 24 hours to download). Now the only game I can find people in is if I click the "Galactic Assault" link on the home screen. I sure would like to be able to play other modes. I tried deleting the settings folder, but all that did was remove all my custom load out settings so I had to put them all back in. That took awhile. I hope next patch fixes it.
