The wierd thing is, if you have a low ping server and it shows up in the server list as a much-higher ping you can then right-click on it, select 'refresh server', and the ping will show correctly after doin that once or twice. Happens for a lot of servers bit not all.
To my clan's server i usually get a ping between 20 and 40. It shows that way in my favorites list (my fav list only has like 6 servers in it). But on the main server list it shows as being between 200 and 350 ping when i do a refresh of the whole list. If I manage to find it way down there, right-click and 'refresh server' once or twice, then the right ping shows and it moves near the top of the list. A couple of our admins have confirmed that the same thing happens to them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 9:37 AM Subject: [hlds] Server Listings > Can any of you knowledgable guys provide an explanation please. > Basically I am having difficulty getting my servers to fill up (or be used > at all).
