Some people don't care about server as long it provide good connection 
and this is majority of people. But as you said matchmaking should be 
property implement.

Matchmaking is not a bad idea, but i think it is bad implemented.
Lobby creator should be able to choose his favourite server if it is
empty...
I dislike random things.
Players in general want to choose the server by themselves, cause they
like some map, some plugin, some config or the ping.

Yeah I will be matched mostly with people from my country, but servers 
barely could be from my country. Even though serverbrowser shows lots 
empty server from my country. There no differentiation from which 
country your server because only variable we have is sv_region, so game 
only know about regions.

 From L4D I remember it just grab first 150 servers sort them by ping 
and looks like it wasn't changed since then. When game released and 
mm_dedicated_search_maxping was set to 300 you can be easly put in US 
server while you are in Europe.

Set your download server to somewhere in Russia and you will see what I
mean. You'll get matched with Russian players, and connect to Russian
servers essentially every single time.

Even if it so, this basically has nothing to do with server selection.

Matchmaking uses your selected Steam download server to determine who to
match you with. In Steam, go to settings and click on the downloads tab. Set
that to a nearby location and you should be good.

[hlds_linux] sv_region and L4D matchmaking

2010-01-12 Thread Nikolay Shopik
I'm wondering if sv_region is taken in consideration when doing 
matchmaking server search? Because I've seen a lot time when we put into 
server with ping 200-300 and these looks like from different region.
