    Anyone else find this REALLY irritating.

    You list the available servers. You select the populated one and just as you double click the list sorts itself and you join an empty server. Happens to me about 30% of the time and is just stupid programming.

    There's literally nothing we can do about that; that's Valve's code.

    I've taken to the habit of clicking the server I want then clicking the join server button. Takes like 2 extra seconds but saves you countless headaches.

    That doesn't help in all the other games that this happens in.

    Killing floor is even worse.

    You select a server, then the list updates and a new server gets added to the list, pushing everything down.

    *but your selection doesn't move*

    Which means you end up selecting a different server for NO FUCKING REASON

    Fuck you tripwire.

    Someone actually PROGRAMMED this to sort the list after displaying it not caught in testing, and happens to everyone, ergo STUPID. I typed that one slow for you.

    OK - no one here can fix this. I'm satisfied that it's Tricksters fault.

    Also my 2 year old Sony Bravia 55 LED TV is on the fritz. Damn Trickster !
