Takes absolutely forever to get into a match?

Are enough people just not playing?


I really love this game. It’s fast paced and fun.

I just don’t get it why are you playing casual matchmaking when you are not getting any opponents,Just go to server browser and play some objective it is same thing and as Mc141203 said Holiday season and now that weather getting warmer in the states player count gonna slow down a little

All those servers are empty.

I’d hardly call 3 and a half minutes forever. Just wait until you see ranked lol

As @JShug07 said, the server browser is a better bet. Check your filters when you search though, because it might be omitting some, then just keep refreshing until a spot opens up.
Worst case scenario you’ll have to play in another nearby region and just live with the extra 40 ping, but it’s not so bad

That as just a picture for the thread. It actually went up to around 16 minutes before I just quit and went to do something else

This is absolutely not a cause of the low player count, if anything it should actually be a time of the year where the player count is higher than average.

The game is just dead.

The influx of new players for Dirty Bomb 1.0 is utopia, yes it will raise the numbers a bit, but keep in mind that even when the average player count was twice as high as it is now, ranked queue times were already a problem and the answer of the devs was that 1.0 would bring new players. So even if 1.0 doubled the actual population (which is extremely unlikely), the game would still have a population issue.

I honestly don’t think anyone who plays or has played this game actually considers it as a beta. It is not a beta. A game that has been out for almost 3 years and has been monetizing content ever since is not a beta. The only people who think the game is in beta are the devs. So yeah, maybe more advertisement will bring some new players, but I doubt that many of the players who quit the game will come back.

This summer, when the devs went to Gamescom, they did bring new players, where are they now? They all quit.
