Multiplayer Server?

[whoarmongar]

This multiplayer connect is probably THE most frustrating part of the game. "Massive 128 player online" was the promise , I will have some of that I thought and so bought the game on its release. Huh. After the patch I saw some servers Whoopee I thought BUT. I can hardly ever see any servers 4 I think is the max i have ever seen and two of those were passworded Now the search doesnt even seem to try it used to search for about 5mins but today it is searching for about 30 secs before giving up and telling me theres no servers. Theres servers out there I know this but it refuses to go find them. I have tried dirrect connect to servers I know exist but it just times out. The developers are blaming steam yet with the patch the multiplayer bit started to work (just). Does anyone know if this is steam or the game and can anything be done at my end of the computer to improve the search engine.
