Although Im not sure if this chat actually shows the exact amount of players. SteamDB has been running ad-free since 2012. Company of Heroes 2 had an all-time peak of 164688 concurrent players on 6 December 2018. Jump back to quoted post, 21:27 PM Fantomasas Steam player counter indicates there are currently 4604 players live playing Company of Heroes 2 on Steam.
Steamcharts are counting everyone, while Relic's ingame online players only show the ones who have connected to the server. So come Saturday, card farmers have moved on, while the actual players started logging-into the game and playing, which was more than Relic servers could handle. The players who actually played the game had to download it, and it is no small game, so a lot of the players didn't even play it on Friday. The player's jumped to the card farming on Friday, without even downloading the game, which didn't tax Relic's servers at all. You can actually go to steamcharts and check how its current peak has not been even. This is more of the speculation, but it might explain why the servers were fine on Friday, but stuggled on Saturday. Games had gone for free, for limited time. After 2-6 hours of this, your get your cards, which you can sell on Steam. You don't need to launch or download the game, the program just pretends that you are playing on Steam. Steam card farming is quite popular, and many players run the program which emulates you playing the game.
I will explain why there was 160k Coh2 players on Steamcharts, and nowhere near that in the game. Jump back to quoted post, 00:03 AM nigo
