Zero "ping" servers in the server browser.

[ActiveMatx]

When I do a server "update server list" i always have about 10 - 20 zero ping servers show up at the very top. (I sort by ping). What are these zero ping servers?

I'm not sure, but I think if you refresh again you'll get an 'accurate' number. I've seen this before, and everytime I click on them a couple more times it gives me a better reading. Thank BF 2's coding I guess?

It's an undocumented feature of BF2's amazingly high-performance browser. When it doesn't know what the ping is, it assumes that it's zero. Like you were on a gigabit LAN, about a foot from the server.

What a great browser our BF2 server browser is.

The servers it can't get a ping from, or you can pray it is next door...
