It's been years since the master server worked for games in the way described.
The request for servers goes direct to the Steam backend, and the first 5000 servers that match the filters, sorted by geolocation, are returned (in a single response). The manually query of the exposed master servers, split response, and rate limiting only apply to third-party tools that aren't using the Steamworks interfaces. > On Jun 21, 2015, at 7:57 AM, Ejziponken - <[email protected]> wrote: > > vitality said that. :P > > Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 14:54:27 +0200 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] serverlist broken? > > Idk how you've come up with the idea that the list is based(/"sorted"?) by > geolocation? > Region 3 basically means EU.
