Ok, i just checked the Demo-servers another time :
LFS says that it is checking 91 servers, can join 88 servers, noreply 2 wrong version 0
LFS-World says there are 101 servers online, should the number not be the same ? (I checked directly after closing LFS).
I dont know how the serverlist is ordered while checking the list, but the flooding of the "could not find host messages" begins after just checking a few of the 91 displayes hosts.
The main problem is, that LFS never finishes checking the hosts. Otherwise we simply could join existing servers on the list (As said before "join a specific host" is still working)
Edit: i know where the difference between LFS-World and LFS comes from. I looked for the number of all servers in LFS-World and not only for 0.5P / 0.5P2 servers. So the number of 0.5P / 0.5P2 matches the number displayed in LFS.
Strange thing, the same problem still persists for me. I get at least 15 "could not find host" messages (only the last 15 are shown on screen like in chat history, i think). LFS never finishes checking for hosts.
I tried to join a few servers by entering their names in "join specific host" and it works there, so the servers must be there.
Maybe it would help, if the name of the host, that LFS can´t find, is displayed in the message too.
I had exactly the same with my new Gfx-Card (ATI Radeon 9250)
look for the 3D-tab in your advanced ATI-display settings and look for the perfomance/quality slider and move it 1 click to the quality-side, that fixed it for me...
