• Support added for filtering the list of servers so that you can find games by specific criteria. Up to six items can now be filtered: Game Name, Number of Players, Map, Era, Ping, and Server Type.

Map, Era, and Server Type:

• These filters have drop boxes to pick which selection you want, with ‘All’ at the top as a default.

Game Name, Number of Players, and Ping:

• For these filters, you will need to type in what to filter by and hit Enter to apply the new filter.
• Filtering by Number of Players show all sessions with at least that many players. A filter of ‘6′ will show games with (for example) 6/8, 10/24, and 15/40.
• Filtering by Ping shows all sessions with a ping value less than or equal to the ping specified. Number of players and Ping both start off at the most permissive values possible, 0 and 9999 respectively. Set the filter values to these values for the equivalent of ‘All’.
• Filtering by Game Name shows game names containing what is entered. Entering “Dedicated” without quotes) in the Game Name filter will show (for example) “Lucasarts Dedicated Server”, “Pandemic T1 Dedicated”, or “John’s Non-Dedicated Home Server”. To clear this filter, delete the text that was entered in this box.
• Filters are cumulative — if you change the Map filter to ‘Hoth’ and the Ping filter to ‘200′, it will show servers which match BOTH of those filters.

NOTE: Users hosting Star Wars Battlefront PC Dedicated Servers will need to download and install the updated version of the PC Dedicated server software for compatibility with the 1.1 version update.
