Server Status Refreshing

[DeathMist]

When I select my game (Counter-Strike) and the servers are listed with capacity and player info, I find that the info is always very unreliable and regularly try to join a server with several free slots only to be told 'Server Full'.
Is there a way to 'Force Refresh' the servers like there was with the original Wireplay client software?
If the answer is 'Yes dummy you click <whatever>'
then I apolgise for my stupidity - but I cannot see anything obvious.

the servers refresh every 20 secs or so, often when im playing cs and i c 11 peeps in a server out of 12 i'll click on it and then be told it's full :( try a couple of retry's in the console 1st before u quit out though as the person may have just left....

Cheers for replying, but does that mean there is no manual refresh option then?
I am not convinced about the 20 second refresh, I left a server for 10 minutes and when I restarted the wireplay client it told me I was still on there playing!!!!

Nope, no manual refresh, and when everything is working correctly:) refreshes are received within 1-2 secs of anything changing. You can see this best by looking at a game like TFC or Q3 (where there's a lot of killing/score changes).

The info we display is what the game servers tell us, so if you see regular updates for a game that isn't full, go into it and it says it's full, there's not a lot we can do about it, sorry ;(
Having said that, if you're not seeing regular updates then it may be our problem, and we should be able to fix it :)

Hope this helps...

If you look at CS you can see the time on change every 2 secs :E if everything is going ok, if not then it does not change and at least you know that the refresh is not working :(.
The updates last night were working most of the time although around 1130? they stopped for a while.
One more thing I think that if someone is in spectator mode in CS they are not reported as in the game (that is how HL works not a fault with WP3) so you may see 10 people playing but if there are 2 in spectator mode filling the last two places you will not be able to join :(
I may be wrong of course ;)

I also find the number of players is frequently incorrect and would like to see a manual refresh option, if it's possible.
