i'm sure the find a player thing is broken.
i tried to find someone i had just been playing with and said it could not find him.
then i did the ultimate test... i typed 'unarmed' into it. didnt come back with any results.

Is the 'find a player' option working?

For me it takes some time before players show up.
First i gotta let server list load completely and when i search i gotta wait 10 - 15 seconds.

it works for me very unpredictable too, sometimes yes, sometimes no chance, before 1.1 it works for me better i don't know what changed
13 Dec 10, 11:24PM
oh right! i havent been waiting long enough.
14 Dec 10, 03:25PM
Wait time for me is usually about 4.5-5 seconds.
14 Dec 10, 06:18PM
sometimes i wait alot longer.
doesnt ping to servers / number of servers make a difference? 
It doesn't work... I tried searching for TeamKillingIdiots but it didn't find anyone... I know they're out there though..frikkun hundreds of 'em! *shakes fist*

@Blue_Pr!nt:
I'm pretty sure it is related to the ping between you and the master server. 
15 Dec 10, 06:15PM
The search-term needs to be part of the name, so if you're trying to find AC|foo, AC|bar and/or AC|lop - then you should search for "AC|".
The wait is related to your ping to each individual server - the master has nothing to do with it - each server is polled for it's list of online players and the search-term matched against those individual names.

Why does it wait for a uniform amount of time before displaying the info?
...Does it have something to do with /masterupdatefrequency ?

What makes you say that it waits for a uniform amount of time?
It should actually start showing "not found"-message instantly, then when it does start finding results it'll show those instead. Try the following: 1) (before launching AC) remove the config/servers.cfg 2) launch AC - enter "/showmenu server" into the console 3) press F3 and enter any name - hit ENTER ... see!?! - you see nothing :-P Next you could repeat this procedure after having added some individual servers (by hand) from your backup-copy and/or screenshot of the serverbrowser (sorted by ping) ... pick those you have low ping to only and you'll experience no lag at all. If you know someone to be on one of those you've added to your "manual" list, you'll find them.

It has always been relatively fast for me, goes through all the servers and finds |BC| members in less than 4seconds.
16 Dec 10, 10:41AM
What I mean by "uniformly" is that I type the string to search, then hit ENTER, then wait for a few seconds...
Then, all in the same moment, all instances of the string in all servers (with different ping) pop up. All at once. 
Of course. That's because your client polls the servers all at once every few seconds (5, I think), and it only asks for name lists in the next polling round after you hit enter.
So whether the ping is 10 or 200 milliseconds doesn't really matter.

:O
That is good to know. * V-Man updates the friends script...
Yeah, even I have trouble at times and have to wait for a few seconds for the names to show up!! These compus can be really cranky at times and seem to have a mind of their own!! But other than taking a little while, everything seems fine for me!!

G-g-g-g-gravedig! Btw, one exclamation mark is generally deemed sufficient.

It doesn't work for me. I don't even have a blank to type a name into! LOL
I don't know what's wrong with mine, but it sounds different. |
