Game tries to join a server with no slots

When ever I start the game and try and join a server queue, if the server is full it tries to join it regardless if there is an empty slot or not. It keeps going to a black screen where it attempts to join and then it takes me back to the main menu. This continues to happen for about a minute or so where it eventually realises that "oh wait, the server is actually full....my bad". After that time, I can actually join in a server queue.

    This is still a reoccurring issue that happens every time I start the game.

    Yesterday when i clicked a full server to join, it would try and connect into the game rather than add me to the queue. It would do this for about 5 or so times before it would actually add me into the queue.

    Is anyone else experiencing this because it is really annoying?

    I can confirm this is an issue, it doesn't just happen to me either, we constantly complain about this on our TS.

    [Edit]
    Just tried playing, happening right now as I type this. It seems to be influenced by servers saying "(LAN)" before they show up as rookie friendly/public.

    Yeah its so annoying. I also noticed last night after about 5 or so times it comes good. However, if I click update then it will restart all over again.

    Yep, annoying. It seems to happen if you try to join too fast after updating the list. This game really needs a proper queuing system for servers. (The steam queue works fine but only if you have a friend already on the server)

    Funny fact: using the steam queue you get into a server before a player using the ingame browser queue.

    In result: I would wish some more love for the ingame server browser, hopefully this will happen with introducing the matchmaking system.
