Update "browse public games" multiplayer menu etc. for easier navigation.

Post by Artman40 »

I'd propose following changes:

[*]Save public games list server sorting so if you'd come back, you wouldn't have to select "requires password", "has mods" and sorting the games by something every time you enter the games list.
[*]When a message "could not establish connection to the server" appears, do not kick the player out of the server list.
[*]Reduce CPU usage with "Loading multiplayer map" appears. This would allow you to abort the connection. It would be useful as if this process requires a lot of time, you usually can't catch up to a server anyway.
[*]Mark servers on the list with different color if you previously failed to establish connection to the server or couldn't catch up (or aborted it).
[*]Mark servers on the list with another different color if you have successfully been on the server already.

These would be basic quality of life improvements.
