Long Wait Times
Posted on: September 24th, 2016 by ObeyThere’s a chance that you’ll experience long waits (>30 minutes!) searching for a game in Casual, Competitive, or MvM games of TF2.
All I’ve found so far is some discussion on the Valve community boards that a minor hotfix in maintenance has broken things, causing long delays AND sometimes a lack of rewards for finishing a game (no points, no items rewarded on mission completion, etc.)
More info on this when I get it. Go play on a community server!
