In browser - 7/14 players


Join server - empty

They probably saw you coming :penguin:


(Violator) #44

heh :slight_smile:

I tried about 3 times to join that server and it had the same list and just me when I finally got in. The ‘ghost’ problem seems to be getting worse (as do aimbots today :frowning: )


(Violator) #45

Still an issue in current patch. Very hard to get a match now :(.


(Szakalot) #46

yup, and it feels like it affects skill-shuffle to, because even games are even more rare


(shibbyuk) #47

This is a bad one… for example, you often cannot join a server with 6 slots free because the browser thinks it’s full!


(Violator) #48

This server has had the same list and no real players for the last two hours:



(AssortedStuff) #49

If teams have the same number of players you are put in the attacking team.
Otherwise you get put in the team with the fewest number of players.

If you join and still your team has fewer players it could be that several players from your side had left, or more players joined in at the same time as you.

To me this is a master server problem. There may be a master server that monitors them all (and in the darkness bind them). When you see ‘ghost’ players on a server in the Server Browser, in fact you see no ping next to it. I explain it because the server was actually not contacted thus you don’t have the ping. I think the number of players is real when you can see the ping next to a server. Maybe when you refresh or apply filters etc…, you send a request to a master server that sends you the information. And maybe this is this master server that does not do its job correctly. It may be due to an overload of requests. I may be completely wrong but that is how I explain it.


(Nail) #51

never seen a server with no ping, ever


(-PogS-) #52

I mean that :



(Violator) #53

Still an issue in current build.


(poiuasd) #54

I never see the ping values in server browser after the first match of the session.


(Violator) #55

Still an issue in latest patch (46398).


(Violator) #56

Still an issue…


(Violator) #57

Still and issue and still my number one annoyance :frowning:


Typically takes around 4-5 servers before one is actually joinable (of the usually around 5 on SW mode which are not empty or ACTUALLY full, or OBJ mode where the first 5 servers that aren’t full / empty are stacked to the gunwales. The alternative is a 12/14 server which always ends up with uneven sides.

Hey Guys,

I notice that no one has updated you on where we are with this bug on this thread so let me fill in the gap :slight_smile:

We are adding more server logging information into the next update (what we currently have isn’t providing us enough information)

I am currently tasked to investigate this issue so when the new update goes live I will be trying to reproduce this and grab logs.

I’ll let you know more as we do!

Thanks everyone!

Person Stuck Loading but never Times Out?

Anti-Virus - Stuck Some How?
Anti- Virus - Kick Player but not fully?

Flip from on a team to Spec and Disconnect?

Stream - Running in the Back Ground after Disconnect?

Player Alt F4’s and left Ghosting?
Player Alt F4’s in Spec?
Player Alt F4’s while Ungibbed leaving a Ghost?

Player Changes Config (Menu) settings and gets disconnected while making changes?

Player get disconnected before getting deployed creating a ghost?

Yea we’ve tried all of these things, I have been working hard to reproduce this internally it just wont happen for us. Fortunately we can reproduce it organically on live and just grab the logs! We will try and get this fixed as soon as we can. :slight_smile:
