Connection Issue Solved(with a few simple changes)

So, I tried changing my max server pings to fix this problem and it didn't work. I have discovered, however, if I wait for the server list to completely update then try and join a game that it works everytime. There are only a few problems with this and they can be fixed relatively easily.

1. Need a Stop Refresh button, waiting for the whole server list to join a game is frustrating.

2. Need to not automatically refresh servers or at least maintain the list. This is for a simple reason if I join a server that ends up being full, guess what, thats right another full server refresh I have to wait through.

3. Kinda goes hand in hand with the previous point if for some reason the first server doesn't work, an individual server refresh option would be nice.

There you go problem solved.

    I have the same problem and this solution works for me, but another is that if I just exit the game wait like 3 minutes then re-open the game the server list just pops right up no problem and quick... I don't understand how sometimes the server browser seems like it's refreshing at a EXTREMELY slow pace and other times it is quick and easy.

    Honestly I did not think this would work with how many things I have done to fix this problem, but tested out two games with this method, the first I got the red plug of doom and just sighed, but it actually stopped after about 2 seconds and let me continue, it has not done that ever. After a few rounds there I tried again, this time I could connect and had no red plug or timeouts. Bearing in mind that it usually takes me about 8+ different server timeouts before I can find one that I am able to play in, this might actually somewhat work.

    So thanks I guess OP
