So what the fuzzy bunny is this.
Lately I often get this very informative error message when trying to join a game via the server broswer - the server is NOT full - I even get this bs when there are only 7/12 players on the server.

It is really a pain in the ass as there are so few servers I can join due to your brilliant ranking system (which is only an indicator for how long someone played rather than a skill-indicator...) and half of the time I will get this error.

It's like you're forcing players away from your game as I will definetly not create a new account only so I can join lower ranking servers...

I am experiencing the same issues.
Also lag seems to be getting worse and worse with every little patch.
Since the last mini patch my games suck balls.

[Kazma]

same here, as well as the lags like memag said.
so far only UK players, anyone else from US having this problem_

Having the same issues with joining here, both in US West and East games.  Sometimes backing out to the garage for a second or two, then going back to the SB makes it work again.  

Sometimes.

The funny thing is that I often have to join a 1680 ranking game (dunno why this is even possible with 2300+ ranking as I thought the reason for the system was to prevent more mature players to join the lower ranking games) because I get the "Failed to join game" error at every 1800+ server that isn't full.

yeah since today I am sometimes able to join Medium Servers, Advanced Servers start with 1650 Rating, so you can join in there with a 9000 Rating^^

Srsly. What bull.sh.it is this_
Despite the massive lags/glitches to reach points on the map you're not supposed to reach/game crashes/connection loses/the terrible team-balance mechanic etc. Hawken still was fun but this is just to much...

And as I have never seen an answer of the meteor staff to any bug report I've mad or followed I'm starting to feel that they don't even care.

PS: I hope that you won't get any pizza as long as this bug isn't fixed. :x

this is the most annoying thing ever...not only do i have to wait around hoping for a siege to open up...when they do have room i get this fuzzy bunny.

i swear in between the unplayable lag spikes and this type of fuzzy bunny i'm not going to be surprised when this game starts circling the drain.

[Rerugan]

Same here, especially UK-TDM 2-2 and 3-3 have a strong presence of "you shall not pass".

[Scuzi]

So fuzzy bunny nice.
There are only 3 servers that I can join of which one is a 24-player test-server aka 250+ ping lag-show and 2 servers that will bring me the "Failed to join game" error.
On a holiday at 17:26 there is not a single uk-server that I can join via server browser (and it's not due to the ranking system restriction as I can oddly join 1600 ranking servers lately).
What a shame.

That is defenitely true. In addition, when a game ends and the timer reaches "0" I get the message connection to server lost or timed out. The game sends me back to the garage and when I enter a new game from there my sound is suddenly gone but only during the actual game, not when I back out of it. Have to go back to the desktop and restart the launcher to make it work again. :-(
This really sucks....

Oh yeah that one, I don't exactly remember when/why this happes but when I have this issue again I'm gonna send a bug report to hawken.
This is extremely annoying, not only the sound is gone, there is also a sound as if someone is pluggin in/out the audio cable.
It hurts for headset users...

[keket87]

Same problem (on UK server).... and this not only on Team Death Match servers, because I have also this problem on Siege and Missile Assault servers ...

[The_Silencer]

If you can't join in any game for a long period of time then quit and restart the game. That definitely helps.

[Funnydeath1]

These bugged rooms are appearing more often.. In 2 days i've encountered like 4/5 of them!
It's frustrating, because when someone quits or ragequits nobody will join, and if you finally find a balanced match, it then becomes a "crappy" match..

[Culex]

This has also been occurring to me on a regular basis. The 2 or 3 advanced servers that have player slots available returns me "join game failed", and every now and then a medium server shows up on the list allowing me to play there. This is pretty bad.
