The Live Server List Explained

What every column, colour and filter on the server list means, how bots are filtered out, and why some servers show two Join links.

On this page

The server list shows every public SoF2 server we can see, busiest first. It counts real players and bots separately, so you can tell a real game from a server full of bots. It refreshes by itself every 2 minutes. Use the search and filters to narrow it down, and press Join to copy the connect command.

The columns

Column Meaning
Server The country flag and the server’s name in its own colours, with a Join link for each game version it runs. “🔒 Password” means you need the password to get in.
Humans Real players on the server now. Players with a ping of 0 are bots and aren’t counted here.
Bots Bots on the server now.
Slots How many players the server holds.
Map The map being played. It links to the map’s page, where you can download it.
Mode The game type, such as CTF, Infiltration, Elimination, Team Deathmatch or Deathmatch.
Ping How quickly the server answered our tracker. It’s a rough guide to how healthy the server is, not your own ping, which depends on where you are.
Last 24h A small graph of real players over the last 24 hours.

Press a column heading to sort by it, and press again to reverse the order.

One server, two Join links

Many servers run the same game on two ports, one for version 1.00 and one for 1.03. When both report the same game, the list shows them as one server, so nobody is counted twice, and gives a Join link for each version. If both ports are the same version, the links are labelled with the port instead.

Around the list

  • The headline above the list gives real players online, active servers and bots filtered out.
  • The spotlight: when the site’s own server has 5 or more people playing, a gold box at the top shows its map, score and players with a Join button.
  • The side column has servers at a glance, the most played and healthiest servers, biggest crowds, most matches, servers by country, mod and game version, verified servers, new servers and the server graveyard. See Server rankings.

Questions

Why does a full-looking server show 0 humans?

Its players are bots. Bots report a ping of 0, so they’re counted under Bots instead.

How often does the list update?

Every 2 minutes, without reloading the page.
