Server browser reports distant and international servers too slowly
New, WishlistPublic

Description

The in-game server browser takes a large amount of time greater to report international and distant servers compared to domestic servers. Remote connection to the server using the remote button is instant. Using the filter for a keyword, in this case "OSF" results in the server taking >15 seconds to show up. The server IP is 37.59.229.103:2302

I am in the US and the server is in the UK.

This behavior occurs whether the client and server are behind a firewall and when they are not.

The server in question is running Windows Server 2012 Standard R2, with a symmetrical 1Gb/s bandwidth.

Also, setting the Steam in-game browser Max ping/Minutes setting to anything below automatic will prohibit the server from showing up.
