Howdy there pardners

From what you've surely noticed the game has been having server issues these past three days.
The problem seems to lie with the Steam Master Server as this issue is noticed taking effect across the globe on Fistful of Frags as well as on other known source games.

An attempt was made to contact Steam and get some solid answers on the matter but honestly, we were given a "boiler plate" answer that could've probably been adressed better by chat GPT.

The issue that had the Steam Master server displaying false info onto the server browsers has been resolved seemingly.
No issues detected in-game or on the Steam client itself.
Thank you for bearing with it!

Time to head in-game and
--------------------------

1. From the game's title menu click on the option "
   FIND SERVERS
   "
   
2. Make sure you're on the tab titled "
   Internet
   "
   
3. Check on the bottom right of the server browser and click on "
   Refresh
   "
   
4. Now click on the top of the column titled "
   Players
   " to sort the server list by active players
   
5. Right click
   on the server of your choice and choose
   View server info
   to reveal the real number of active players on it.
   

If you followed the steps above you're sure to find servers with players to with and enjoy the game to the fullest once more!
Lastly on this matter, there's another useful article on the forums on how to access more servers in Fistful of Frags, please take a look if you want more info and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
How to Find More Servers to Play

Some of you know the "Highlight Server Browser" (HSB), the one with the image tiles was brought into the forefront some years ago to battle against servers that exploit the way the Steam Master Servers work.
There's one particular server out there that "fits the bill", called "".
They use some type of "server proxies" (randomly, silly named and not, servers) to flood the server list so when players join one of these they are redirected to their main servers, so use only the in-game server browsers to join a server and stay away from FastPath!
They steal trafic from all the rest of the servers and your personal (steam likeness) to use for their personal gain at the same time.
The scam doesn't stop there either as they use your likeness to create bots in your image so they can draw more of your friends in there.

There are whole threads out there about the "serving" at the moment , you need only to google for it and see it for yourselves.
We will leave you with the article that helped getting them banned from Fistful of Frags.
