[2021] Why does the server browser lie about ping?

Hi! Unfortunately, we can't do a lot to improve the situation, at least for the time being. The ping you see in the server browser is an estimate, and it's not always accurate because of how SteamP2P uses intermediary servers to connect clients to servers. This was a necessary step to add to bypass the need for players to forward ports manually, and changing it further would not be a trivial task. We'll monitor the situation though, and our schedule permitting, we can look into developing this further at some point.
