PC new server search function is horrible

Sounds more like impatience than a fault of the game. It's day 1 of a new patch. You can't expect everyone from every server, all across the world to update their servers on your time. It will take a few weeks for everyone to get on board with how things work now. It's like when things went from having to choose single player worlds vs mp worlds, to how it is now, where you're considered always a MP server with settings that hide the name of it. Confusion happened at first, but since then it's become a non issue. Same concept here. No sense in rage quitting day one of a new system patch. Give players time to update their servers to use the new feature.

It's not that bad. It's 95% to country, and about 75% to city: https://www.arin.net/blog/2018/06/11/ip-geolocation-the-good-the-bad-the-frustrating/ and the game is only trying to identify region. 

But is that the real issue anyway? That you're seeing a few French or Chinese servers sneak in? Or your server is being misclassified into the wrong region? Seems like it's just cumbersome to use is the main complaint. Perhaps a way to improve it is to browse to regions only, but as long as you have decently refined filter, (With criteria that don't need to ping thousands of servers to narrow your search), then a search could be allowed across "Any" region.

its multiple issues but yeah some of it is that you see a LOT of Chinese servers sneak in not only subverting the Region issue but also the Language one too to push the servers i should be seeing off the 120ish that i get to see for some reason entirely.  There is no reason why that should be that way. 

 
I do hope that they have more in mind for this.

The server I use sits right beside me, was always the first in the list the old way.

Having a search come up first and HAVING to type in the name every time is a step backwards.

Not gonna whine, just gonna wait...... for now.  😛

 
It should be in your history, simply do a search with region it´s in and it should show up in your history.

Still sucks that you can´t see all your servers in the history if they are in different regions. The whole system is just bad. I don´t need a search filter 99% of the time when i go online. I just need to be able to get on my history list with ALL servers listed no matter where they are located.

The search mask doesn´t need to be mandatory as the first thing you see when pressing "join a game" Let me in the serverlist first. So that i can simply use my history with all my servers on there. For people who need the search mask you could simply make a button they can use.

The majority of players doesn´t need to do a  search when they go online most of the time.

Yeah . Impatience? It's still not fixed 

 
Hello! New to this forum.

Has anyone posted a regression/bug report? If there is one please paste a link to it.. vote on it if possible. 

An "Any continent" filter in server search would be tremendously useful!!!
The "Search Any Server" feature was always available before this alpha, but was accidentally removed apparently, for no apparent reason, other than minor UI changes. This change was appalling as the servers searches are very much more tedious now since region filter's reliability is VERY POOR.

Thanks everyone for posting here.

Much love!

Notes:

  • The Server list update frequency is TOO FAST
  • The Server list update forces a change in "Server list" scroll  
  • These two in conjunction, make clicking and joining the right server nearly impossible.
This issue is a terrible first experience for every new gamer who might already be thinking about returning the game.
