Wasn't this supposed to be fixed?

Well I just came back from getting a beer, and it seemed a server did pop up, literally after minutes. I find it quite strange that an 2002 game like Battlefield 1942 can find more than 100 servers within the second, while we have to wait 3, 4 minutes just to find only one, almost 10 years later.

Yup I managed to find one server just. The search is so hellishly slow that it's the same thing as it wouldn't work. Firefox can now also load pages while refreshing the list so they've just changed something. Most probably the changes had to be done on Steam servers and they didn't take place at the same time all over the world.

EDIT After it worked the first time I tried searching again and after 5mins nothing...

lol.. it's very slow for sure.

No dedicated server's yet either. :/ So we are relying on the community.

Be great if someone could host a 64+ server instead of 16.

Got up this morning, walked over to the PC, turned it on, watched the patch load, made a coffee, sat down with a grin, opened the game, went straight to multiplayer, searched, searched, searched, searched, cried, kicked the pot plant, had a smoke, read this forum, cried, promised myself not to admit to crying in public, typed this, went back to bed.

lol..

possible no servers, but LeadFarms' server is 24/7. Check out his thread. Have to connect to that direct.

It took about a minute, but I could see leadfarmers server, ping was over 1000 as I'm in Australia, so I didn't join

Multiplayer must be pretty high up on the list of fixes.
Its a serious oversight,but hopefully will be sorted quickly.
