Is this a game or a waiting simulator?

I only ask because I’ve just come back to Dirty Bomb after some time away and all I can do is sit in a queue waiting for the game to find players, which it never does, and tell me that it’s “nearly there” every couple of minutes or so. This is happens each and every time I fire the game up. No lobby, no gameplay just me waiting for matchmaking that never happens.

Is there something wrong with the game? I know it’s not on my end as all permissions are fine and my internet connection is 100% stable.

Use the server browser to find a game. CMM is disappearing soon in Western Europe and North America anyway

Where are you queuing? Here in NA the longest I’ve had to wait is around 4 minutes, and usually it’s more like 1. Could be that you’re playing at a weird time too. 6 AM or something, lol

Western Europe. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night I try, I never get into a game. It just sits there doing nothing, I left it for half an hour twice earlier, once at 19:00 and again at 20:00, and it was still telling me “nearly there”.

That’s weird. I queue for Europe too and I find a match in under 5 minutes every time. My average search time is like 2 minutes or so.
