This has a lot to do with the number of servers you are sending queries to.
There are only a few in favorites but many in the full browser.

There is a good chance that this is being aggravated by your router getting
overloaded, typically lowering (yes lowering) the steam connection rate will
help this.

Steam > settings > internet > Internet connection speed

As a test to verify that it is the router, you can try connecting direct to
your modem and see if the browsers behave differently.

Another possibility is If you are running a game server on the same home
connection as your client, you may actually be momentarily overloading your
internet connection, especially if the server is busy.

Subject: [hlds_linux] Odd server browser behavior.


Hello,

My server pings ~400 when I refresh the Steam's Internet-serverlist.
Then it pings 0-2 when it's in my Favourites.
Why does the Internet-tab in the server browser always give the wrong
ping?

Tuomas
