Open Multiplayer, apply filters, and then just set everything so that you have an empty list. You can see the number of filterd players on the top right.
Ah cheers, I though he meant you could see through steam somehow.
8300 in steam, 1700 in multiplayer. Plus more SP offline/non-steam as he said. Seems fairly definitive, unless there's something I'm missing then maybe we can put this discussion to rest
.
Edit: I another factor might be to do with when clans/regiments choose to organise their activities or something. Dunno how big a chunk of the player base is actually involved in that though.
