Team Fortress 2 server browser....broke?

[fever 9,884]

I've noticed over the last 6-8 months that the TF2 server browser just doesn't seem to work.  Most of the time I just use my favourites, but occassionaly I try to find a Lotus Clan server that I don't play on regularly and its been getting increasingly difficult to the point now where whenever I search I always get the "There are no internet games listed on the master server that pass your filter settings". 

 

Maybe I missed a meeting or something but is anyone else seeing this or is something going on with regards to QuickPlay that I hadn't realised (e.g. we're now no longer able to be found by the browser, let alone getting traffic through QuickPlay).

I dunno I added them all to my favorites manually but it was a huge pain in the ass to get them from the page. I used a laptop to look at the list to then type them in. Skial have an app that adds all their servers to your favorites list. I have mentioned it before but I don't know if it would get used or if its something we want to use.

I have had issues for a while with server searching, I am currently only able to search NA servers and if gabe is merciful 2 french servers.

ok after a little pain i have found the location of the favourates list. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\33046637\7\remote

 

the file you want is serverbroweser_hist.vdf  ive made a copy of mine after adding all my favourates to it, just in case. feel free to take a look at it in notepad its layout is fucking terrible but still interesting

I think the server browser was never working 100% for me

Thats the reason why I usually go to the stats page and use the "Join" button if I want to join a server i dont have on my fav list.

Not perfect, but its working...

The server browser is buggy as hell, hence why a lot of people are driven towards quick play, as results actually appear sometimes...

ok.. hope this stuff is of help. if you refer to my post from before telling you where the server list is located.. here is a backup copy of all lotus favorites plus a full notepad list to refer to
