KaosCommunity wrote:Hi all,Based on your feedback we are continuing to investigate the server issues. When we check the servers they are not even close to full and we see available servers when we login as players as well.So, any information you can post in the forum about problems finding servers will help including the time and date you were having an issue and your location. What servers were actually available and any other useful information will be appreciated as well.In addition, based on your feedback we are making some changes to the server configurations which include reducing the number of Conquer servers and adding in dedicated 32 player Oilfield and Solar Farm servers.More information will be posted on the community site when these changes are made and let us know what you think of the changes.THANKS!

I often find now that I have to sit a refresh for a coule of minutes waiting to get into a server.Before the holiday season I would be able to see around ten empty servers !Well empty servers sitting around don't help anyone. :)Anyway, I spoke to the folks in the server department and this is what they had to say:“There is no set number of dedicated servers. We do our best to make sure the various lobbies have dedicated slots available while insuring there aren't too many servers which would hurt matches as a result of low player counts. It's a balancing act, but servers are currently adjusted based on activity levels and using our top secret mathematical formula for fun. It's also worth noting that sever visibility could be affected by your region, trueskill, and player count (full servers are automatically removed from lobby). The bottom line is that nobody likes playing in empty servers, so we’re doing our best to make sure that you guys get the best gameplay experience possible every time you fire up Frontlines.”

This morning thier was no Hindsight but noticed the oilfield & solar farm both orange bar with half a room.So we had 10-12 guys crashing the two DLC rooms and throwing games till we rotated to hindsight . Any chance of KAOS bring back the fun servers?

I agree, aussies ALWAYS get the short end of the stick, and almost always have bad connections unless playing with other aussies or a ded. server in austrailia. Keep up the good kaos, I admitidly havent seen any aussie specific servers ever. Keep up the good work. Hey mitch, can you give us a little hint on your new project over the studio? or perhaps when you will leak any info about it? Dont you think febuary 27 would be a symbolic date to do you?
Hey mitch, I should bring to your attention the "Infilitatration" cycle. In the DLC server, everyone goes there for hindsight, then when its over they all quit instead of playing infilitartion, about 3 or 4 people on each battle it out until the next hindsight round until everyone rejoins. What I'm trying to say is, the DLC maps people seem to be playing a lot in its server is Hindsight. The other maps are pretty unpopular. To be honest, did you really expect any to buy the map pack for the other reasons? People dont play this game for close quarters combat you know.
