Impossible to get into an experimental server.

[Zjasuu 337]

If there are 5 servers and probably 10 000 people trying to get in at the same time chances are you will never get online, also when a server says 39/40 and I connect I just get an error message saying can't connect. Well I guess I just have to wait for the patch to come out :p

There were more EU servers but they got super laggy and went down. Technical difficulties, I guess.

 

Also, you might have missed this...

 

Description:

 

This build is being tested on experimental branch, and contains a number of fixes and changes that have been in preparation for the last two weeks. Please note that we do not expect that this build will be quickly posted to stable branch as we anticipate at least one more update will occur to Experimental prior to being pushed to stable. Only a limited number of servers will be running this version, so be aware slots may be limited. Once we have confirmed this build is functioning correctly we will announce more information about the release to stable branch.

• What are experimental/stable branches?

In your steam application settings, you can choose a "beta branch". This allows you to opt in to our experimental branch to try it out.

• Does my saved character get affected in experimental branch?

No. It runs on a different database, so any changes will not affect your character on stable branch.

• I can't find a slot while on experimental branch!

Only a small number of servers run this branch. You will need to change your game back to the stable branch and play on a normal server

• Can I join a stable branch server wil experimental branch client?

No, you would need to change your client back to stable.

• When will this be in stable?

We expect stable to be updated before the end of that week (by Friday 24 January 2014).

 

The servers being super busy was to be expected, really.

Dean did say that there will be a total of 24 experimental servers up in the next few days plus the stable is here in like 3 days anyway. https://twitter.com/rocket2guns/status/425677111215415296
