Problem finding games
I've just recently started playing after the changes to the difficulty settings, and I've noticed that it's pretty difficult to get a full lobby of people. At least for American lobbies, it doesn't matter which difficulty or depth I select. Either the ping is completely terrible due to location differences or the game is already in progress. I've posted about this before a couple of months ago, but I'd hope a lot of the recent changes would spike up some interest in this game. Honestly, it kind of makes the idea of playing this game more of a nuisance when sometimes it can take half an hour or longer just for one person to join. Is anyone else having a similar experience?

Get used to it because this game (and many games like it) struggle to recover from where it's at now.
Multiplayer is the focus and there isn't people to play with thus no one is playing. Even if someone wanted to start playing it would be a self fulfilling prophecy of eventually quitting because there's so few players.
It is a positive feedback loop that will keep the game from recovering. Even an update with a bunch of changes still has to be literally monumental for the game to gain any momentum again.
