This wont be a steam problem, rather a problem with the provider that hosts your server.
Talk to them, they may be overburdening their link or placing too many servers on the same host. - Plasma ----- Original Message ----- From: "Maltenrazer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 11:45 PM Subject: [hlds] steam browser shows wrong ping times for our server
hello, i have a super server and we host counter strike 1.6 servers. our player numbers have now declined so much with in the past few months, hardly any one plays on the server. 195.20.109.7:27015 no new players ever join now, where as before the server would get full all the time. i have has a strong suspsion it had something to do with people not being able to find our server. i went into steam browser to search for my server. the always has a ping lower than 50, but the server does not appear when that criteria is set, it only appears when i change the larceny to over 150, then the server appears. UK players search for servers with pings lower then 50 and ours should com up, bit it ain't! here is a screenshot: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/maltenrazer/5730f854.jpg here is the screenshot when the server is refreshed, when it is refreshed the true latency shows up. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/maltenrazer/5b39024d.jpg Now to be 100% that it is not my computer or my connection at fault i asked some of my clan members to do the same search. one of them in the UK, on of them in Holland, one of them in Sweden, they all were the same, they all get much higher ping times than normal when searching through the steam browser only when refreshing the server does it show the true ping. please help, how can i sort this out?! no one comes to our server any more -- Maltenrazer [OMEN] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
