so currently im sitting here, CQB lockdown, 5 players joined and then suddenly it shot to “populating with bots” and the bots actually joined. from queue to match start probably 1 min. left that one to try another
game 2: loaded into a game with 0 players, waited 2 mins and no one joined, left
game 3: joined an ongoing game with 2v3
game 4: joined an ongoing game with people with 200+ ping but i have normal ping? couldnt find them in the match but eventually bots took over? wtf. left that one
game 5: joined a game with one other guy, one other guy joined and 30 seconds later bots started joining but then stopped at 11/16. that constantly happens. bots always stop at 11/16 then wait for another real person to fill. another guy eventually joined making it a 2v2 (12/16) and game started
so in conclusion i think its definitely also a player count problem. you still need enough to start the game, at least not 12 but maybe like 4-6 real players and the bots will eventually populate the rest of the 12. obviously this all could have been a fluke and its still broken but ya lets see, this was also all at 9 am
bots always stop at 11/16 then wait for another real person to fill. another guy eventually joined making it a 2v2 (12/16) and game started
Yes, the underlying bug of bot backfill not filling to the required player count has not been resolved as of yet. As of right now, you need 4 humans in-game for the match to start, defeating the point of bot backfill.
It's better than it was, but bot backfill is clearly not doing what it's supposed to do, as in, fill with bots to start the game.
