No servers showing, servers that do miraculously show are nigh impossible to join, games that you are fortunate enough to join will crash within moment...and if you're lucky enough to get past all that and actually play a whole round, they almost always crash afterwards. Basically, multiplayer is unplayable since the patch. The problems in depth: 1) No Servers in Browser -- Yesterday, I saw a dozen servers. Today, hardly any. At best, I saw 3 servers today. Generally, it's 1 or 2. Sometimes none. 2) Can't Join Servers -- Boy, there's a plethora of issues here. First of all, the browser shouldn't be showing me full servers, since I don't have that option enabled - yet it apparently does anyway. It's impossible to tell if a server has room, since most of them have negative quantities - try to figure that one out. However, even if a server isn't full, I've ran into two different and odd problems. One) I'll join the server, but get disconnect. Some error message about not being able to join or resolve the host or something. Two) I'll click join...and nothing happens. The Join button gets grayed out, I can't select other servers...basically, I have to completely back out of the Multiplayer screen, return to the Main Menu, and try to do it all over again. I don't think these two are new problems though - I was experiencing them yesterday too. 3) Game Crashing -- Game crashes are absolutely insane today. I CTD (crash to desktop) when trying to join a server. I CTD during games. I CTD after games. Basically, if I scratch my ***, I CTD. Often, I'll get that little "disconnect" icon in the corner (it's an icon of a plug disconnected from the jack). But once I return to the desktop, I get that Windows prompt "Do you want to report this error?" or whatever. Basically, the game had some issues yesterday, which is to be expected during a beta...but now it's completely broken. It's an exercise in futility to try to play Multiplayer. For what it's worth, Singleplayer seems fine (albeit a bit boring).
Believe me, you're not the only one. Just be patient and it will be fixed. I know the devs are hard at work as we speak!
This. All of this. Since I got the game yesterday I have managed a grand total of 1 round of multiplayer, simply due to mass CTDs and buggy as heck server browser.
There is currently a bug in how servers are hosted and it affects both listen as dedicated servers, hence why there are only 3 active tops. Each server will crash in less than 10 minutes in a round. Just have patience, I'm sure Uber is doing the best they can with crashdumps and submitted log files, besides, this is what beta's are for.
