Hello everybody, I wanted to talk about CS:GO's community server
browser. The server browser is broken in its current state. One day, it
will display 300-500 servers, the next day there will only be around
25-75. I've heard that it attempts to pick the closest servers near you,
but many of the servers that are shown are hosted in Europe, and most of
them had a password.
The server browser should be similar to CS:S, where it shows all servers
with the default region set to “ALL”. Gametracker tracks over 15,000
servers and when filtering servers near me, I get well over 1000
results. Fixing the browser would help strengthen the CS:GO modding
community, allowing players to find custom servers easier. The modding
community is important to CS:GO and it has been lacking since launch.
The recent updates Valve have released are amazing and I appreciate the
hard work from Valve (especially the "session no longer available" bug fix).
The modding community in CS:GO is very important. One major reason for
CS:S and CS 1.6 having players still is because of the modding
community. The current modding community in CS:GO lacks developers but
if things start changing and CS:GO starts becoming more
modding-friendly, developers that create content for CS:S and CS 1.6 may
move over to CS:GO. Content creators disliked CS:GO’s modding community
at launch but if Valve put some more effort into supporting the
community, developers may slowly move over to CS:GO.
I want to strengthen the modding community and I hope the issues with
the server browser can be resolved. If nothing else Valve, can we get
some insight to how the current browser works?
Thanks.
