I’ve reinstalled the game, and can still not see any games outside of WESTEUROPE. I’ve now talked to other people in Europe who all have the same problem.
I can confirm the same thing. I’ve found that specifically hosting them on the WESTEUROPE server in the “create lobby” screen generally allows people to join (this may be confirmation bias though), but as mentioned above, if you want to play with friends you have to be fast, because if the lobby does show up, everyone rushes to join it.
It’s been like this since launch, and there are plenty of threads about it on Reddit, here are a few:
- Here’s another person only seeing WESTEUROPE
- Broken lobbies, screenshot in comments only showing WESTEUROPE
- Here’s multiple people seeing very few lobbies
- My lobby doesn’t show up in the lobby browser
- Lobby browser only shows up to 10 games
- Lobby system is bugged, lobbies not showing up
- Still no fix for the lobby
- Where are all the players?
All of which were posted in the last few days.
Also on Steam forums:
- Unable to find multiplayer matches in the Lobby Browser
- Can’t find any games at the lobby browser
- Multiplayer lobbies broken
- My game does not show up in the lobby browser
- There aren’t any lobbies I can join
- Invisible lobbies
- Can’t see servers in unranked lobby
Etc. These are just posts updated in the last couple of days. Based on the fact that lobbies that do show up fill up incredibly quickly, this must be a widespread issue, and I’d love to have proper updates about this.
