[L4D1] Matchmaking bug #4269

Open AshThe9thSurvivor opened 2 years ago

AshThe9thSurvivor commented 2 years ago

I made this report thinking that the problem was the official servers down in South America, but apparently that is not the problem. I have tried to communicate with as many L4D1 players as possible, we all have the same problem, but some have the server IPs saved, so they can login to the servers by IP, or create games with "mm_dedicated_force_servers 155.133.249.22: 27075", this way they can enter the South American servers. SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? It seems that the matchmaking system is failing, so if we don't use the "mm_dedicated_force_servers", all South Americans are sent to Australia.

I've noticed this issue as well. I'm not exactly sure what is causing this though. It might be because all of the Server's are full but I could be wrong.

I do agree that they need to fix the match making system in this game because it just connects you to which ever Server it chooses instead of connecting you to the closest Server in your region. They had previously fixed this in L4D2 a few updates ago.

Well, we've been like this for several days, and I did tests, quite a lot of tests, this was reported by a member of my group, I decided to do a survey, and all the players I met on the Australian servers reported the same thing, simply the South American servers of VALVE were not. Maybe in L4D2 they have solved it, but as you can see, in L4D1 I don't see solutions, I don't see events, nobody sees them, I don't know what they are waiting for to get down to work.

I did some more testing this morning, I'm still getting the 'Failed to load web page (unknown error)' This might be a networking issue on Valve's end. I'm hoping they will patch the other issues that have affected this game for so long. All we can do is wait.

I have tried to communicate with as many members of the L4D1 community as possible, according to the information they give me, some had the IPs of the L4D1 servers saved, so you can enter the official servers by console, with that we see that the problem is not the servers down, but the matchmaking, the matchmaking system is failing, that must definitely be the error.
