Seeing we have a MvM discussion I thought I'd give my opinion as well. I've been playing a lot of MvM last few days and noticed a couple of things;
- Often you get sent to the VALVe-lux servers (from the netherlands). Pings are fine, however, the performance is utterly shit. The servers are extremely laggy! - Often you get sent to 3rd Party servers running Pinion, this crashes a lot of clients I play with, including mine - Our own MvM servers, unmodded, no pinion, excellent ping and performance (and closer by than Luxembourg) are sitting empty at the moment I am searching for servers, which is weird, as badly performing servers somehow receive most traffic. (during the evenings our MvM's are mostly full). So, not only the matchmaking system is broken in terms of Geolocation, something is also broken in the server ratings and giving VALVe servers prio over 3rd party servers can mean you end up at worlds most poorly performing machines.

Just something to add, but the other day a group of my friends were playing MvM. We all had Mann Up tickets however it took to long to get into Mann Up so we decided to play normal Boot Camp. We we did not except was that we got into a Boot Camp server in seconds because according to the statistics that showed. There were over 700+ servers applicable for MvM all of which were empty. I think the plain fact may be that there are just too many servers available and the fact that less people are playing making MvM and TF2 in general less popular. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
