How many servers do you see?

[Distiler]

I'm one of those players that see just a few servers in the lobby, usually around 50. If I refresh the list several times, I can see more, like up to 70. But it depends, there are days when I can only see 5 or 10 servers. And I'm being told by friends they can see 500-600, in the same moment, in the same Open Beta version...

 

How many server can you see usually? (let's stick to Open Beta answers)

 

It's probably something in my end, but I'm pretty sure the lobby is "agressive" with my system. The thing is, probably, the number of servers around is more than 500, and they all ping at the same time. I took this video 2 years ago, and it's the same to this day:

 

 

All those pings hammer the router, and probably fill the NAT table. When I see just a few servers, I need only to reboot my router then BAM! 100-200 servers appear. 100% times replicable. Cheap router for sure. I've been seeing similar issues for years in the forums. nothing to do with different version. I've been posting about it for 3 years, and I'm not the only one.

 

Isn't there something ED can make to alleviate our cheap routers? like setting a limited ammount of pings per second, or something like that.

I don't play online, so can't comment on the "usually" part, but out of curiosity I clicked the multiplayer button and if the server/player counter on top of the list is correct (that's the one I should be looking at, right?), it says 788 servers as we speak.

Well, thanks, almost 800 servers!!. I'm seeing right now 150 servers, i't s a lucky day for me! :) as I said, it's usually around 50.

 

PD: after closing and starting again, the lobby probably filled my NAT table, so now, I only see 9 servers. Isn't this sweet!

PD2: after router reboot, bamm! 265 servers!
