My god, it's been out for two whole weeks now, how is it possible that every single little issue with this game has not yet been fixed in that spacious time frame?!
Also, what exactly is wrong with the server browser? I'm having very little problems using it myself.
like neoken, i haven't had any problems with the server browser - it's functional for me and hasn't been slow/broken at all.
however, it would be perfect with the following:
- a history tab, so when i get disconnected i can rejoin the server i was in, also helps to find good community servers - a better queue system so you can queue for multiple servers - access to the server browser while currently in-game, so you can check your fav servers/queue while you kill time on your 'plan B' server etc
It gives me a nostalgic vibe, I'll give it that. It is also 100x better than the one we had a month before release, which was test of patience.
A history, friends functionality and COD-like auto-join server with a group of friends would have been nice. But its not the end of the world if that doesn't arrive until next Halloween or something.

Press shift+tab then check your friends list. There is a little arrow menu next to their name, click that and press join game. That brings up a window if the server is full and you can select auto join and then you'll join when a slot opens up.
As far as the browser I think it's pretty good at this point. If you click filter full then yea a lot of servers won't show up cause... they're full. I generally just click filter empty and move the performance slider to 95% and then sort by open slots. A favorites tab would be pretty sweet though.

Make sure your filters are not too restrictive. Set performance to 90%, ping to 80, uncheck empty/full/rookie/mod, then update the list. If you have a favorite, check the favorite filter and it will show up (unless it's ping/performance is really bad, or the server has stopped existing).

There is a reason for this, but the reason is silly.
The servers individually update when you click on them, and disappear depending on your filtering options.
So if you saw a 23/24 server that you wanted to connect to and someone else already connected before you click on the server, the server disappears because you set your filtering option to hide full servers.
