Hi all,
recently i became rather frustrated when i was playing on a server with people all over 200 ping
and of course they were whining about lag and blah blah blah
and I was thinking to myself: dont these people know this is a US server?
then it struck me... the in-game browser doesn't show what country a server is in!

the x3igh7 birthday list:

please add some feature that shows which country a server is from to the browser interface. a little flag or something would be suffice...

I have come to realize this is one of the main reasons i use an alternate server browser (i.e. qTracker)
It would be great if FS added the feature so i wouldnt have to use qtracker anymore and people can find a more ping friendly server.

thanks

The ping is usually the first give away.

You can sort the list by ping. I wish I could set it like that by default, but I haven't been able to find the cvar that controls is (even though there is a few cvars that have a promosing name, but turn out to do nothing). It seems like it's not controlled by a cvar at all.

If it shows IPs, you can generally go by that.

80 and 20x are usually European or Australian, while 6x, 8, 24, and 72 are usually NA.

Djeez, why does NA get all the cool numbers :/

Sort by ping really should be default. The only downside is that it makes the names wobble around a lot once there are a few thousand servers, so there should also be a stop refresh function.

yesss i realize i can sort by pings... but some people don't know that.
little flags are easy to recognize, and i can sort by players then

it's possible to code to filter by country too but sorting by ping is usually still the best for gaming.
