The server browser..

rantology

<div class="IPBDescription">..it has ONE job in life!!!</div>Are there any updates on this? will it be functional for release? I'm not talking about the look or the UI or menus or anything- but the fact that the server browser only works half of the time and very sporadically. Most of the time just coming up with a blank list and refusing to refresh. It was understandable in the first 2 years of beta but it gets old fast =P

It's very frustrating trying to get in a game and being forced to win a battle vs the server browser before you can join anything.

connect spb.ns2servers.com supersekratpassword is all you ever need :D
I think its more an issue with steams master server.. i guess the best thing they can implement is a database that stores the last successful server query list

If it's on steams end then UWE needs to kick and scream until they fix it, having the game go live like that is going to be shooting yourself in the foot. A lot of people will just rage quit over it and it will hurt the game. It has been happening consistently for the entire duration of the beta and it's horrible :/

I agree this is incredibly annoying, but yes it's on Valve's end it seems.

IronHorse

Its one of the first things on the list in the high priority section, and is widely known by the devs, it will be addressed in some way.

rantology

cool, thanks for the update.

Has this been fixed, because I still can't join a server, I refresh and no servers show up, If I'm extremely lucky I will see 1 empty server.

IronHorse

that sounds very different.. should be dozens of servers. I personally, only rarely have problems with the list, and either restarting NS2 or waiting for 2 minutes fixes it.

try checking your firewall etc if you are consistently not getting servers.

I've had none of those problems.

But I have one, BIG problem, with the server browser.

When you click the sorting by "Ping" it sorts out the worst pings first. WORST PINGS FIRST?!? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??! "Oh hey maybe if someone wanted to play in Kenya they got lions and 999 pings" AUUGHH!!!

Of course, it only takes 0.1 seconds for the second click, returning sanity.

Also, double clicking needs to join the server.

Is your version properly up to date?

While an improvement over previous versions, I still find it lacking when compared to fsfod's menumod. My biggest pet peeve is lack of noborder windowed mode.

Locklear

Agreed Bob.

Windowed (Fullscreen) Borderless Mode is becoming more of a standard setting nowadays..
