Remove "ghost" servers from server list (faster)

Post by redlabel »

Hi,

Currently "ghost" servers, meaning servers that go offline but stay on the list showing players online before it went down. It is a bit confusing and it would be nice if servers that go offline more or less disappeared from the multiplayer lobby almost instantly..

Servers themselves notify lobby of their own existence. The only thing lobby can do about missing server is verify if it's still there or not. It does it time to time and prunes the dead servers off the list.

What you mean is, probably, an option not to show servers that don't respond to information query. This way only servers that replied to the query would show up in the list.
