Is the Server Browser Ping Correct?

[Badlywrapdkebab 2]

Since the last update the server browser is showing very high Pings (like 500) for all servers the majority of the time.

I'm no I.T. guru but if I ping the IP address of one of these servers from windows command prompt I get a response time of about 21ms when the DayZ server browser shows 500ish. Is the server browser bugged or am I misunderstanding something about pings?

Most likely yet another new bug.

Use this instead: https://dayzsalauncher.com/#/home

even dayzsalauncher seems to have incorrect ping results. even if they are better.

which is especially funny, as if i run my test server which only uses one core, but has the same setup and runs on the same machine, the ping results are extremely low and steady, while our main server which runs on 6 cores, fluctuates.

basicly, do not trust the ping at all, imho, only take it as a rough estimate.

Based on the accuracy of the "day / night indicator" I'm probably not going to trust the ping indicator either, lol.
