Yeah, that's the temporary solution, but the servers themselves need patching. The launch features are a major problem, as well as locale queries. I keep on getting .de servers, but not any NFO servers that will launch.
One thing that should be shown at the top of the lobby is the server's name and info. It seems silly not to include that.
The biggest problem with the servers is initialization. Once you get past that, they're fine... it's just the launching. So, in actuality, the servers need the patching.
