Hello all,
After the original 1.02 patch came out it turned my system upside down and I immediately reinstalled the original and played fine for a couple more weeks. The the so-called hotfix comes out and it plays fine, but the server browser issue is still present and extremely annoying. I used to be able to refresh 100 servers under 100 ping. With the current patch all servers update showing outrageous pings and only upon refreshing again are they at least down to around 150 or so. The actual in game latency is usually lower than this and playable but this problem is really ****ing annoying because half the time you spend 15 minutes just looking for a tolerable server.
By far the most frustrating part of all of this is that it seems as though my browser seems to choose to not refresh the servers that are actually pinging well. I live in Seattle and if I search for a specific seattle server name (Ie: a favorite) the browser returns that server pinging just fine, in the 50-60s. Why would this possibly be the case when updating NEVER shows these servers, but I can manually search for them just fine. I know for a fact others have had this problem, has anyone found a solution?
My Specs in case needed:
2.53 ghz P4
Radeon 9700 pro 128 mb
1.5 ghz Corsair DDR ram
Ac 97 onboard sound
Running Win xp SP 2
and no I do not have McAfee installed.
