Do you mean that you cannot see which servers have 3 person view allowed in the server list or are you just complaining about the filter?

I dont know if I should laugh or cry?

You are right with the filter but nearly every server has 3PP: ON/OFF in its name so you know if third person view is enabled or not.( Look at your own picture(png file one))

I didn't notice it until you pointed it out, and the indication from other people I've played with is the same.

It still seems like it's a usability issue if it's something that needs to be pointed out and is not intuitive.

Which is why I put [usability] in the title, the people who prioritise the issues know what kind of issue it will be.

With that, I'm going to edit the issue with my above comments.

Yes you are right, but i think this feature has time to get implemented, since its not really hard to find 3rd person servers. Personally I need to play on them because I get sick of the motion in 1st person view :/. There are more important things that need to get worked out at the moment. But i completely agree with you that there should be an option in the filters.

Yeah dude, I know usability will be super low on any list, it always is :(

No problem searching for First Person only servers. Just type "OFF" in HOST box. But I wouldn't mind seeing (and in no rush seeing) a dedicated filter option for First/Third person view.

This has now been implemented. Use the -newui launch parameter and it is very easy to see what kind of a server you are joining. Same with the old UI.

You can now see whether the server is only 1st person or 3rd person too

Hi,

since a few updates already, you'll find a column in the server browser which indicates whether the server is 1st or 3rd person. Fixed.
