I am putting the latest patch notes update here:

 

Title Update 23

Significantly reduced lag spikes caused when someone joined a match in progress.

Added more matchmaking/performance telemetry to allow us to optimize our backend servers

New networking code improvements to be initially rolled out in the Domination playlist October 10th, mid-morning with more playlists to come

Looks to me like another placebo. Try to get more players on a particular playlist to improve regional matchmaking. Not a fix, a diversion.

It will be just like the last 2 "fixes" to the matchmaking in particular modes: work for about 2 days and then disappear. There still has been no explanation why the first improvemnt in TDM went poof or why the 2nd supposed fix never actually happened.

PS The fact that they are adding even more(which has happened now in a number of patches) performance telemetry tells me they have no idea how to fix what is broken. Such a great 11 months, such improvement

The reason it "seems" to work is due to IW telling us its only being rolled out to a certain playlist and players migrate to that playlist to "test" the new settings. All that is really happening is more players are in the playlist they say has been tweaked, thus creating a temporary "better" matchmaking environment. Once people start shying away from the "tweaked" playlist, everything goes back to crap.

I can 100% confirm everything you just said is not true. We really are testing it on domination first.

Does this include Groundwar Domination, or just the regular Core Domination playlist?

G IH A IN ID II,

Could the TU / Hotfix info be incorporated into the actual interface of the game as a separate item off of the main menu. A place for platform specific Users to view and report back on aspects such as what is being provided similar to this thread - a controlled environment for the Users to provide timely feedback to the developers as the game cycle moves forward.

Just a thought.
