In-game browser Vs Steam browser

[MadTommy]

Just a heads up. Presently the ingame browser is pretty fubar. Even when it does show servers it only shows a small number. However the Steam browser (found under 'view > servers') appears to show the complete list. I suggest until the browser is fixed people use Steam

Below are screenshots of both in action at the same time. (NOTE: These were taken this morning, UK time - not a busy time.. normally you see more ingame, but still the comparison stands)

Both browsers filtering empty servers ONLY..

I hope this helps.

crap didnt even know you could use the server browser from steam! Thanks, I'd much rather use this. It seems to give more accurate PING readings.

The one thing it lacks, unless i've missed it, is server settings. So i just look for 'realism' in the name!

Your in-game server browser only shows ranked servers in that screenshot. I guess the steam browser doesn't have that filter?

The only filter i have turned on in both browsers is 'empty' servers.

Try it yourself.. maybe your ingame browser is working better than mine.

The in-game browser also shows PINGs wrong for me, higher than what they are truly.

Little bump so more folk are aware of this.

Till yesterday i had no idea Steam had a game browser.

+1 for awesomeness. Great tip, which I'll be using until they iron out the kinks in the in-game browser.

both are fubar for me, ingame founds no servers while steam one finds like a total of 5

good thing all of them are realism servers

It's funny. I have entirely different issues with the browser. When I first start the game the browser works fine. Filters get me the sort of games Im looking for and it shows hundreds of servers going. But if I disconnect and try to find another server most of the time I get 0/0 servers. Once or twice now it showed servers but usually I have to restart.
