DCS Server browser needs a reboot

[coolts]

Now that the Game front end GUI is getting some love, can you please take a crack at the multiplayer server browser if you have any paint left over?

 

We had a great MP session on BS2 last night but it was hampered by the ever clunky, ever flakey DCS MP server browser.

 

It’s been around for a long long time and reminds me of a Quake 2 era effort, (which is why people all started using All Seeing Eye / Gamespy, etc. back In the day before Wolfenstein 2 came out with a lean clean browser).

 

Last night I threw my toys out of the pram;

 

• Can’t save favourite servers
  
• Can’t filter servers at all
  
• Weird inconsistent Font sizes and alignment
  
• Cursor changes from white arrow to almost invisible text cursor intermittently.
  

Yes its better than F4/BMS browser but that’s not saying a lot. At least I can save favourites there.

 

Unless everyone else is use a new 3rd party browser and I’m the only one left using this? :helpsmilie:

 

(there was that IL2 / F4 3rd party browser that i cant remember the name of, but that was ages ago).

Yeah i think people would use a better third party lobby if they could.(but they cannot because of the login security)

Having no filtering or sorting options is disgraceful.

I have nothing official, but I can only imagine some changes would come with a dedicated server tool...

Hah, Hyperlobby! That was it. Looks like I've hit a bit if a nerve here.

I would request sorting options as well. So you can sort on the amount of players, ping or even Alphabetic order.

I still find myself clicking the DCS MP GUI to try and sort it on player amount. and everytime i'm still annoyed that it does not work :lol:

To used to it.
