Stress Test Details:
The focus of this stress test is our matchmaking system. To access, hit the ‘Play’ button, then navigate to the matchmaking option on the bottom right corner of your screen.

The maps we’d like to get your feedback on this week are Underground and Trainyard, and they’ll be running on all public servers. Please post your feedback on these maps in the forums.

We’re also taking Aimee, Kira, Phantom, and Sparks out of the game while they’re being reworked. Do continue to let us know what you like and dislike about the rest of our Mercs.

See you on the servers!

Saturdays are party days! And I have a party full of day drinking so this wont work… Sundays are hangover days and can be filled with computer gaming, sleeping and puking!

(FireWorks) #10

After finding out that BST is not the acronym for “bull**** time” I wanted to post a time for the big european playerbase:

20h CEST (gmt+1+1daylight saving:P)


(Mustang) #11

GMT = GMT+0 (6pm)
BST = CET = GMT+1 (7pm)
CEST = GMT+2 (8pm)


(FireWorks) #12

Thanks Mustang for pointing out that GMT does not operate with daylight saving :slight_smile:

Being match maked into a euro server is really getting annoying!!! 160 ping laggy as crap…

I hope you will match make my region… This ping difference isnt going to fly in a shooter…


(FireWorks) #15

Matches are dead once a person leaves. 4 tries now and not a single started with 5v5. Doesnt seem like people get put in after the match started:((


(BomBaKlaK) #16

Yep this is the major issue without friend list and group lobby


(spookify) #17

been a good 5 or 6 minutes of timing outs and match making…

got 2 matchs in so far…

one on a euro server and one on a usa server


(spookify) #18

Doesnt seem to be working anymore


(chippy) #19

Played 5 matches, all ended up in either 3v5 or a completely onesidede game.

As a sidenote, it appears as if every match is ended, just when we get returned to the lobby i get a bluescreen. Been playing for ages in all kinds of games, as well as Dirty Bomb / Extraction, with all kinds of uptimes and loads on the system and never encountered it before. Do you need some sort of test log, and if so, what/how do you need?

UPDATE: By manually disconnecting before being returned to the lobby it doesn’t throw a bluescreen in my face.

took 10 minutes of timing out and 50 millions accepts and it finally let me in…
