We recently released a fix that seems to have addressed issues with matchmaking. We're still experiencing overload issues with the party system and friends list.
We are aware of those issues and attempting to address them.
Hot Fix Build v.1.0.12
We released a build that fixed a bug on game servers where servers could incorrectly report that a disconnected user was still connected to the server preventing that user from matchmaking until the server shut down.
We're continuing to monitor in-game traffic and are working to resolve issues you all are experiencing with servers!
Connecting to Servers
We're working around the clock to get players back in game and playing! We're starting to see players connecting to matches once again. Continue SLAMMING those servers so we can fix issues that we're seeing!
We appreciate all the support and we're sorry you all can't play right now! Stay posted!
We have an update thread going on the Steam Forums.
