Post » Sun May 01, 2011 4:32 pm

Hey guys, each time i go on free play, i go to server selection i see alot of 0/12 or w.e the limit is, and i cannot find anyone online?! and when i do find somone, it's keeps going on TIME OUT,

i've only really ever played with 2people!

and if i do see a server it's to far, with like a 200+ ping

i'm from England btw, is there a server issue? or (as steam as removed it for UK) limit of people can only play if they pre orded it?

thanks.

1st thing to check... make sure your steam cloud download region is set to UK.

I'm in London and spoiled for choice with online games... sure there are empty servers, but even more full ones.

It sounds like you might be experiencing problems with your internet provider or (most likely) your router... I'm getting pings of 25-65 on European servers - 200 ping are games in Asia.

If you're using a Thomson router then you need to buy a better one (Netgear works great for me).

***EDIT*** I was playing all day yesterday, so the issues with Steam Store aren't affecting it.
