yes, ive been waiting for this, lets go people!

do you think its possible to implement system that prevents servers faking player count in server browser?

Have client send bethesda database the server ip to which he is currently connected and unix timestamp

And display player count from bethesda db in server browser for each specific server ip

A lot of servers show 60/64 but in fact are empty or filled with fake clients.
This could be mitigated

I believe that fake player counts/severs filled with bots faking being players is most signifcant factor towards low real player counts nowdays
- Thanks

Piggybacking on this post, is there a chance we can get ET: Quake Wars back on steam too?

Why is this game locked again for Germany ? It was available recently. You locked this games by accident ?

I think it has to do with ww2 symbology in any variation being banned there.

Nope, the general ban in Germany on symbology in video games was lifted in August 2018, you can search for in google. You can even buy all wolfenstein titles fully uncut in Germany.

That is the problem with notable news bites, you don't get notified if that stuff gets lifted and that ban was stupid to start with. Suppress the imagery too much and you risk the issue coming back with interest.

Hey! @MortalEmperor Why does the steam version cant join most of the Noquarter server? I tryed with Etlegacy and regular ET2.6b they can both join Nq servers...
