Lack of servers and laggy servers...

    Ok there are only a maximum of 48 playable servers available to me. the rest are red, I have all the latest patches and all the expansion packs. Also, when I am on a server it's as laggy as hell. I have checked the box "same version only". I can't understand this at all... I have a 3 meg unshared connection and everything else is grand with the net... any ideas apart from reinstalling and getting all the patches???

    re-populate the list (can't remember the wording on it, it's next to refresh list anyway). always works for me when i get 100- servers.

    as far as lag goes, i always check the ping before i enter a server... i also have plenty in my favourites list to keep me happy, all based in europe.

    What connection are you on?

    IBB I know a lot of people have problems on.

    you could also try leaving most of the filters unchecked except 'same version only'

    uncheck the filters and get your latest vid drivers or as the book says,turn off all AV progs and firewalls when playing :p:D ;)

    I do all of that and still doesn't work out... the pings are grand when looking at them but when I join they rocket up...
