Server Browser is now too SLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW

[JuiceEggsMcKenna]

Hi, this one has got me flummoxed.

At work I am running UT on a Celeron 466 box running Windows 2000 (Server! Urgh) and just recently the server browser has slowed down to the point of total unresponsiveness. The NT Task Manager actually shows UT as "Not Responding" when I have the server browser open as it slowly consumes more and more RAM. The mouse pointer is virtually unresponsive. Yesterday I opened up the "Deathmatch" browser tab just before I went home and when I came back in this morning (15 hours later) it was 31% of the way down the list. Yikes!

I am running version 420 over a 2 MB link (off of our LAN) and didn't have this problem in the past.... can't remember exactly when it happened, maybe after I put on the last patch?

Any server browser gurus out there? Any ideas?

Thnx.

I mean reeeeeeaaaallly slow. Totally ****ing useless type slow. Should it take 15 hours to ping 31% of the servers over a 2 MB link? I think not. In fact, I can ping 800+ servers in about 5 minutes on my home PC (v90 modem connected at an unispiring 43K). I have resorted to gathering server names at home and then sneakernetting the favorites section out of my ini file into work so I can find a server

What's the deal here? Anyone? Anyone? (No, it did not work, and JuiceEggs sank deeper into his Great Depression.)

Have you got LAN selected as your connection option under Preferences? It'll have something to do with your Netspeed.

If not, try an earlier patch

Sorry for the lack of help.
