It's not only a heartbeat issue. Jake is also correct. There are less people (naturally) playing it than before, over half less. Last time i checked during the demo release and day after that, peak was 21 000+, now 9440 and only 4610 people atm in it. http://store.steampowered.com/stats/
I guess the servers are overloaded when it goes public, for few days. Then again i feel that this demo didn't have too much to play on. It's over pretty quickly and shorter than the L4D1 was year ago. -ics Ook kirjoitti: > My L4D server does the exact same thing. It gets lots of activity, then it > empties out and stays empty.
