Harder to join servers after the update?

[TheManeEvent]

Recently I've noticed it's a lot harder to join servers after the update. Before the update servers would go into post victory and you'd only have have to wait a few seconds for the server to restart then join. Now I have to wait until endgame is over then when it ends I can't connect to the server and when I can actually connect to it the lobby is already full. Other times I get the end of stream error and the java reset error. Anyone out there who can help me get in to servers easier?

I have noticed that the servers take long to restart. They go from deathmatch to t he beginning of End Game, then they go down, then a couple more seconds of End Game, then the quick Clean Up then you have to instantly get in.

My suggestion is to join the server when you've waited 1-2 seconds of the 3 second clean up.

I have actually found it much easier.

I agree with Coolman.
I'm not sure why, but it just generally has. Despite the first days being a little hard to get on servers, I've found it has been easier as a whole to gain acess.

Okay best way to get in.

Hard way

1) Wait till the game ends, and start spamming the refresh server list button
2) Every time you hit refresh, click the server in put the mouse over the join server button.
3) If the server is still down, hit refresh and repeat until it is up.
4) DO NOT double click the server on the list because you can hit join and cancel while it is logging in, cause you to get communication error. Also known as stream error.
5) So when it is up, hit join game at the bottom
6) Pray that you don't get kicked

Easy Way

1) Buy donor, you help the server stay running, easy way to get into games, it is a very reasonable price.
2) And you will most likely not get kicked, especially if you buy at least gold donor.
3) Plus more votes for your favorite map.

General Tips

1) Join a higher number server, such as us 30-40. Most donors join the first server they see that is in lobby.

I think one reason it is easier is faster restart time. Servers are back up quicker, meaning more in lobby. I used to have to constantly check to see if it was back up, and sometimes I would miss it. But with only a few seconds, I don't have to go entertain myself.
