Steam matchmaking wasn’t using them muchwell thats no good.
There’s nothing we can do about that, they’re set up correctly. Valve made significant changes to the matchmaking system a couple months ago which basically did two things: make it incredibly hard to get a non-friends game going and make it almost impossible to get a server in your region. I’ve complained to Valve several times and they’ve done everything from reinstalling the game to reinstalling Steam and (of course) none of that worked. What’s happened is they’ve coded out sv_region and are doing the region selection on their servers, poorly. If you type sv_region in console you’ll likely find that it’s set to -1. If you set it to east coast (0) or global (255) it will autoreset it back to -1. I think they partition regions according to ISPs, which is defeats the purpose of actually having a matchmaking system.
I might be wrong on that, idk, but that’s what it looks like IMO.
