Can't get servers to show up in the browser.

[Jonium]

Tried everything from reinstalling to disabling AV and firewall, what to do?
legacy browser works sometimes, but the actual game browser just shows white background.

ive waited for about 1-2 minutes and the servers load!!! i guess our internet just takes time to load them

Ok im going to try that solution. This is getting irritating i really hope it works. I dont think you have to do all that crazy crap and filework ya'll are doing, i think it should just fix itself after a while... Atleast i hope
But i will try your solution the gamingpig

IT WORKED!!! WOW! My servers are showing up again! I think your right!

This happens to me due to bad wifi connection. Though many don't show, if you can get the actual server ip addres and type "connect [IP ADDRESS]" in the console it'll usually connect fine. That's how I got it to work.

jonium we need to figer this out its happining to me to hi all server creators restart the servers yous made it might work

[Jonium]

I think the waiting method should work for people with a bad/slow or unstable network connection because the problem might be caused by a unusually high ping when the first server search request is sent which causes the server browser to not find any servers with a suitable ping, but when you let it search a little longer the ping calms down and the browser finally finds the servers.

YES!!! I have been playing Cod WAW with my friend and my ping was going from 12 - 900!

I tried G mod today and it is quicker than ever! i tried cod waw and it is faster than yesterday! the problem is SLOW INTERNET SPEED or BAD CONNECTION. I am 99.9% sure that is the case.

Solution: 1.Find what is causing the slow internet
2. Get better internet packages
3. If 1 is not an option, i suggest asking a computer expert to visit and find the problem
4. If 2 is not an option, try number 3 to see if you can speed up the connection
5. If 2 and 3 are not options, wait for the servers to load ( May take different lengths of time to load)
6. The problem may be very likely to be caused by ping. try looking on the internet to find ways to mess with your ping.


If you have any other solutions, please say them below. All of these options worked 100% for me, so i believe this is solved.

By directly connecting to a single server, y7ou are focusing on loading 1 server not thousands, which proves it is Most likely an internet problem, because you can still connect to servers, but it takes time to load all of them.

Yes, i have the same too, good comp and graphics, but its just that your ping may be spiking. there is no way to tell on speedtest.net, but if you go in a game that shows your ping, it may go all the way up to 700 from its usual. what you are experiencing is normal.

Go to C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\GarrysMod, right click hl2.exe and go to properties. Then go to the compatibility tab and at the bottom you will see the privilege level section. Check the box "Run this program as an administrator".

This problem happened to me as administrator. we've already discovered it has to do with your ping.
