Having trouble people joining my lobby...

Hi all,

I make a lobby (and yes its public) and then the waiting game can start at times im done waiting so i start the wave thinking people will join but nothing at wave 1 so i continue wave 2 alone still nothing both waves i left one enemy alive...and it has been worse for me since patch 1.07.

I restart the game then make a new lobby and the same thing happens time and time again occasionally once in a LONG time some one joins then it fills up quickly...

Or i invite a friend after waiting for a time when he joins the lobby fills quickly...

Or when i start a game and no one joins even after wave 2 i ask for a friend to join  which prompt makes more people join...

At this rate there is no fun playing this game since if i chose to play with sniper rifles or a Crusader getting in a off host match is practically killing it for me since the damn game has some major issues with hitbox or headshot not registering (this was not an issue back in ME3 MP even with laggy hosts).

Is there a solution for this? Im sure more people have this issue right?

Or....the game is dying but then again once some one joins a friend or pug then the lobby fills up relative quickly.
