[REL] [CLIENT] [LOBBY] [LIVE GAME] Faster Server Browser for Titans & Classic

He filters our some dead data to reduce the bandwidth in addition to gzip.

This is great, makes things much quicker.

This not really related to this mod but a interesting discussion along the same lines, but i was wondering wouldn't websockets be a better technology for lobby.?

Yep it's my AWS CloudFront instance with one of my Linode servers doing the filtering.

I'll keep it that way until Uber fixes or the cost reaches something like US$100... currently it's at ~US$1.50 after 18 hours.

After that I'll switch over to the Uber feed with just gzip... which means no filtering or 304 Not Modified responses.

The patch automatically disables if a new build is released and I can switch feeds in the mod easily via auto updating if Uber requests that.

Yep... already looked at web sockets and that's what I would implement.

For the mod... AWS CloudFront was easier and required less impact on my servers.

AWS CloudFront stats for the filtered gzipped games feed over the past 48 hours:

• 176,000+ requests
• 8.8GB data

117 downloads on PAMM so not a lot of users.

Just updated the Faster Server browser mod to patch the following so they return to the game server browser (without breaking Galactic Warfare):

• failed to join game network issue
• failed to join game when no longer valid eg another play joined, slot removed, etc
• failed to join game due to incorrect password
• leaving a game
• kicked from a game

The Faster Server Browser mod has been updated to patch the game details pane for the currently selected game with:

• starting planet icons
• automatic updates

Dis is amazing <3 so much speed.

AWS CloudFront stats for the filtered gzipped games feed after 5 days:

• 500,000+ requests
• 28 GB
• US$4.50

400+ downloads on PAMM so still a small number of users.

Earlier the Uber feed hit 980KB/sec (7.5+ Mbit/sec).

MY f ucking saviour!!!

dear lord THAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Just added a patch for PA#1270

The last game started or joined is remembered and if different from server an extra reconnect button is added:

This is so cool.

Faster Server Browser 1.2.1 adds the following:

• reconnect button to the start menu
• cancel button to the reconnect dialog
• fixes and improvements to the collection of the lobbyId and uberId

Also check out the new Second Picture in Picture (PIP) mod: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/wip-second-picture-in-picture-pip.64602/

Doesn't work with the latest hotfix patch, the server list shows as empty. Disabling the mod fixes the issue.

Can you check again... it's working fine for me.

The mod actually disables itself on new builds as it has a build number check.

It's just been enabled again for 73441.

Look in the dev tools console for messages like:

• gPatchServerBrowser on 73441
  
• gPatchServerBrowser not patching newer build 99999

Yep, working now.

Each time I launch the game (through Launcher or Steam), I get the reconnect popup as soon as I am logged on PlayFab

Even if I have no game on-going. Click on Abandon doesn't solve the issue.
Am I the only one ?

Yep... you're one of the lucky winners of the game that never ends lottery.

Uber will need to kill this... OR I can block in the mod if you want

Code:

    {
      "Region": "EUWest",
      "LobbyID": "7333977237410055161",
      "BuildVersion": "72996",
      "GameMode": "Config",
      "Map": "default",
      "MaxPlayers": 2,
      "PlayerUberNames": [
        "fr33lancer"
      ],
      "RunTime": "2.13:26:09.6791012",
      "GameServerState": "playing"
    },

Hum, I remember playing a game when there was an update (I wasn't disconnected), that would explain why the build number is the old one. And I guess the Abandon button doesn't work for this exact same reason.
Yet, Uber should have a kill switch for such games, 2 and a half day if I read it correctly !

Try it now...
