    Is it possible to make it say how many minutes into the game it is?

    Not with the info I can query. You can usually judge that pretty well based on score though.

    296% performance? :-B

    I was a little surprised by that as well, initially. It turns out performance percentage is not actually reported by game servers. Instead, servers provide a different (and much lower) number which I must assume is their current tickrate (i.e. the number of game world updates per second). Whatever it is, the in-game server browser appears to divide this number by 30 to get a performance percentage.

    In other words:
    performance = tickrate / 30
    However, I see this tickrate get as high as about 150 on empty servers, which is equivalent to 500% performance. I guess the NS2 devs wanted to simplify things by not showing a value beyond 100%.

    I figured a little extra information never hurt anyone :)

    not your issue, more of a UWE issue.
