Just noticed today that both in RO1 and RO2 the list of servers takes upwards of 10 seconds or more to come up. Servers use to always come up straight away so anyone else noticing this or is it just me?

Seeing as all TWI games use the Steam server backend, yes, if Steam is having problems then querying the server list will be affected.

Must be Steam having a problem then. Not only is my in-game browser coming up empty, also Steam's server browser isn't responding either.

Here I am WANTING to play and its a struggle just to find a game because none of the browsers are responding or showing servers ugh... :(

Steam server browser seems to be working, but it is very slow. If I didn't wait, I would think it wasn't working.

Haven't tried the in-game browser yet this morning.

What is WRONG with the server browser, not only does it take over 1min. to load any servers, it is reporting the pings all wrong/random, here are 2 pics. of my own server, one from Fav's and one from the ranked server list.
Look at the difference in the pings!
This is unacceptable,its bad enough that we have 400 servers with only 600 players, but what chance do we have if the browser is reporting the ping wrong!

Before 15/16th Nov patches server browser was fast & nippy, after those patches server browser takes at least 20-30 seconds to start to populate. Usually has to shift-tab to Steam overlay and fiddle with game browser to see server list updating.

However, recently played servers don't exhibit this behavior.

I had some problems with server browser following the 15 November patch (IIRC). It only showed few servers, took forever to load, and eventually stopped showing any servers.

However the problems disappeared when I deleted roengine.ini in Documents/Mygames-folder.
