Re: Can’t Host Anything in Portal - 'Global Game Quota Exceeded’ Error

It gets really annoying that one cannot host their own server and people are constantly making their own, which is part of the fun.  However, even if persistent, BF servers should take into consideration that a lot of these servers go unfilled for days at a time.  There should be a count that after 24 hours, even if persistent, the server should collapse a dead instance.  When I create a server for personal creativity, I will take it down when my people are finished playing in it.  This Global Game Quota Exceeded error should not be happening all the time.  I search through hundreds of servers, even for ones that would otherwise match mine, and many of them lay dormant with no one in them.  I can't even host my own server using someone else's code because too many are filling the DICE servers.  Please, find a method to trim the amount of dead servers.

    Yup. Getting this too. "global game quota exceeded" Trying to create my own persistant Breakthrough server and it takes a few minutes to create it. Had it take a half hour the other night. I get also get this popup while trying to join servers in the browser.

    Oh, I can create a server, but im stuck indefinitely waiting for the game to start at 24/32 players with bot fill active. Im never going to get 8 players in here because no one is going to wait for more than 30 seconds. This is ridiculous! But I do love the game, and I understand that its only been out for a few days. But PLEASE change how this works.

    I should AT LEAST be able to start the game and just play with bots as more people gradually join.

    Its because of all the people spamming XP farm bot servers. I hope they nerf it as I'm sure we're already missing out on some great portal servers because of this.

    Kill the bot farms and allow a round to start with 4 or more real people on the server.  Forcing everyone / allowing everyone to backfill with bots because of the stupid logic of needing more than  32 real people in the lobby for the round to start is just killing Portal for everyone!

    This coupled with the fact that many low population (1-6 players + bots) server hosts are banning players before they can even fully load in is making custom servers unplayable all around. Does anyone know if this is being addressed as there are no DEV notes concerning these players automatically banning anyone joining their open servers?
