I see very little servers and of what's actually available they all have false player counts and empty servers. I recall it being way more active 12 months ago.

Most EU players play during the evening. We’re all adults now so there’s only time to play during the night haha

You need to look at what time it is evening in the US and then find for a server.

The one regularly active US server is so laggy, it's completely unplayable

You can install a Chrome addon that show the ACTUAL player counts. There's always been a problem with fake player counts

I've actually tried this. It shows an additional count in a blue font.

I don't think it actually works. I've joined servers and their completely empty, even with the count.

I've found that on weekends in the evening is when I can most often get full matches in Europe. I think you just gotta experiment with the time and you'll find spots that are more busy than others. It's natural ofc that people are moving away from a 15 year old game

Because the plugin is not reliable anymore with the current Battlelog stability state.

I don’t think it’s dead, it just doesn’t work for some people especially on Steam and I’m one of those people 😬😭

The active servers I used to play on US most admin just abused and banned. I got banned from one because I was low level and playing slightly decent someone in chat said something to admin basically just lying and saying I was cheating and I got banned I went like 55 and 63 barley getting even and just getting used to playing again and was banned from 24/7 nashar

end process tree for RTSS this will allow it to work and turn off MSI afterburner monitoring this is just one of the many problems that can screw up your game lol I just find all my fixes on old Reddit forums
