If it was in TF Beta first, it wouldn't have gotten the large-scale testing
that it needs.

That's why it should have been put in the TF beta first! :)

It will be fixed really soon. As in, today (hopefully). We're planning
an update later today, and it will have the necessary fixes on the server
side. I'm hopeful to get it fixed on the backend, too.
There is also a problem where a "game over" condition can cause the server
to switch into a mode where it stops receiving traffic. That bug will
also
be fixed today.
Sorry for the bugs. That's why it's called beta!

It could also be due to quickplay traffic being split inbetween the beta
quickplay system and the current quickplay system. They did say with the
beta quickplay system if your server uses any type of normal connection
method to the server for the first player it boots you out of the beta.
They never did followup if that was ever fixed. I could imagine that a lot
of people running both the beta quickplay/normal quickplay aren't getting
the benefit of the beta quickplay traffic because of that bug. But I too
have noticed this same issue about the dropoff in quickplay traffic
seeding
which started about a day before fletcher posted about the beta quickplay
system being started. I assume the drop in traffic is because of that.
