Is there anything you can do to make the Masterlist smaller? What is it 25mb? Takes 1-5 minutes to download on client start. Can you do anything to make it smaller? Why do we need to see so much information about each server? Do I need to know a server with 0 people has loaded 25 packages… really? Can you do something please, to make the Masterlist smaller, much smaller, how about 5mb… how about a server.config that says opt out of package listing, opt out of playernames listing. All most users require is the server name, description, keywords, player count, image, and ip.
More information is better. Sounds like you just need better internet. I can download 25mb <1 second. Or you could just filter the list like a sane person.
And we’re all very proud of your bragging, supported by insults.
And again, like I said, the more information, the better. It’s obviously going to grow in size with the more servers that are created due to popularity. If you personally have an issue with how long it takes you to load the list, then use filters, it’s that simple. The list doesn’t need to be reduced down to an arbitrary level of whatever best fits your internet speed and your patience for it loading.
Instead a better thing to suggest, would be (if it’s not already doing so) to have it only download a list of servers with your specified filters, instead of the whole list. That is a much better solution then removing data because your internet is slow.
Also, saying downloading 25MB <1 second isn’t bragging, it’s just like you saying woe is me, it takes me 5 minutes to download 25MB. If it takes you 5 minutes to download 25MB of data, then you have more issues than just loading a list. As that is a download speed of 683kb/s or 83KB/s. Which if that’s the case how do you have the patience to load into any server, let alone play in one that has more than just a few people without lagging to death?
You are aware this data (player/resource info) is loaded on-demand and not in the main listing info, right?
The list itself is 1 MB when compressed, and it already contains the bare minimum you suggested - this is a reality you’ll have to accept due to how many servers are online at any time (almost 10000).
You mean the current serverlist?
The stream is only 1.4MB, and will contain basic info on all 8~9k servers.
Even more to prove my point that data doesn’t need to be removed from the list.
And thanks for confirming for how I thought it loaded.
@Xabache I hope you got the information you needed. Use Filters
confirmed. it is only going to get worse.
I do use filters. On busy days load time ranges between 1 minute and never.
I have 333kb
- I am not in the stone ages here…
I was not aware of this.
Leaving the question, why on somedays does the masterlist range from very very slow to absolutely not at all? Most days i connect to FiveM I have to resort to direct connect after two minutes of nothing loading on masterlist or favorites, which I know if I wait 5 minutes+ it will load. This is not a problem created by a 1mb download. So what is the problem?
I’m sorry but yes, you are in the stone age with that speed. With that speed you will download a 1MB file in about 24-25 seconds at 42KB/s.
My dude, I piss faster than that.

damn dash even here
hey tabarra 
love and peace yall XD
This is such a helpful statement, I think I speak on behalf of the entire FiveM community when I thank you for sharing this with the community.
That was almost a sentence.
FiveM Favorites is again loading very fast today. 1-5s. Perhaps the recent update fixed, something. Thanks if it did, I’ll be back for more of this especially stimulating conversation if it does not.
well sorry to disappoint u, wasnt really making a sentence, talking about the fact that dash is joking even here in the forums… maybe u werent able to understand that?
Any time! I’m glad I can provide you with such enrichment! 
And it is back… most of the last two days suddenly Favorites pops up in 1-5s which i was shocked by and was very nice, but today and yesterday, i wait 2 minutes and nothing appears. Is the masterlist social distancing from my client perhaps?
Sorry my guy, just sounds like you need better Internet. It would appear you’re the only one having such a massive issue with it, even a couple of my players who have god awful internet don’t even have as many issues are you’re claiming to have. Get over it, or buy better internet.
I can download 50GB a day. My DSL is a at 10k feet down the line, with 77/777kbps
You all have found a false blame.
The master list isn’t 25mb, it is 1 mb. It is not an issue of download size as I original suspected. However I have curl’d the raw file before and suspect its 25mb+ size plays a role in an error of timeout that lies entirely within the client or FiveM masterlist side.
The masterlist remains constantly unreliable. Somedays it loads in 1-5 seconds, other days it ranges from 1-2 minutes slow, and most days it does not load at all ever.
This is not a result of local internet load. Nothing else has a problem.
I have yet to encounter this problem with the master list, not sure why you are specifically encountering it yourself other then unstable connection between you and the master list.
Have you ever considered it to be a DNS related issue? Maybe the DNS server you’re using is unreliable or high latency causing slow connections or even timeouts.
