Evertime I connect to a sever it says somthing like '19/32 players' but when I go in there, there is only 2 or 3 players. What is going on and how do I fix it? Thanks.

There's nothing wrong with your copy of TF2 or anything. Some people who keep servers up make fake player counts in order to make it look like people are playing on their server.

I would either start favoriting good servers or selecting one with "no bots" in the title. This is a common practice of some servers and valve has proposed a way to fix it involving a server ranking system that got critisized quite a bit. I suspect though that there will be a fix at some point in the future.

just right click the server and click server info, then it will show you the "real" number of people in the server.

Find servers that you like and that always seem to be populated and make them your favorites. If you're on the west coast the Six clan has good servers if you find them.

They still have the fake server problem? I thought Valve fixed that.

This happens to me all the time in TF2 and CS:S. Like others mentioned, just favorite servers that you think are fun and populated.

Only problem I have with this is, sometimes my favorites list gets erased or partially erased.
