8 Minutes to Find a Game, is it Dead?

Took 8 Minutes to Find a Game, Video Proof above i recorded it

So i finally got a match, guess what, people can immediately leave, causing the lobby to crash, and i had to queue from 0 all over again

Other games put you in Priority, look on AOE4, AoM doesnt and it takes forever to find a match

Community from what i seen in game is highly toxic too, when i got into a game someone resign immediately after he saw im not good player and new to the game

According to steam charts, AoM playerbase has a solid floor of daily active players and that number is in fact slowly growing over time. Your queue time doesn’t mean dead game, since LoL, an immensely popular game, can take up to 20 minutes to find a game if you are a high level player.

Hi these sort of search times happen usually because of network issues.

If the game is having problems finding servers for you it won’t notify you unfortunately. if this happens to you way often try using a VPN to find a game and then close it after match has started. If this works for you you might wanna check some things in your network.

The game isn’t super popular but it should be able to find a ranked game in 4 minutes max.

i literally had a video as proof i queue for 8 min for 3 vs 3 and 4 vs 4

1vs1 is barely okay but i dont play for 1vs1

Online team game is pretty much dead confirmed

Ohh you are playing the 2 least popular modes and on solo queue, yea those are gonna take a while on certain timezones.

Team games are never dead. As I said something is happening there.

Which region are you on?

Did you try a VPN to see if it fixes anything?

What do you mean? What modes?

I would simply advise removing the “auto-queue ban” icon. And everything would work. Sometimes I wait for a game for 7 minutes. But most often it’s 3. Sometimes it’s instant.
