Server loading if no players.

Hello.

I don't know if it's related to scripting but anyway.
I've noticed that servers are not showing up in server lists if there are no players inside, so there is a problem-after my dayz servers restarts people can't get inside until I or somebody else using side programs to connect or using remote functions joins the server.

I've seen many servers in server list with 1 player online but no actual players when you join.
That could be a solution for me. How is that possible?
 
I have no idea from what I should start, It's not even a bug.
Keywords serverlist/empty server giving too much junk
 
Okay, yes it must be that the Arma2 server browser is just broken. Here is what my server browser looks like upon starting it, only servers with players

So after a few minutes of testing and fiddling with filters etc I stumbled upon the answer ... or what SEEMS to be the answer.
I dont know how Arma2 decides which servers to list first as it loads the servers, I would assume it would be the first ones to respond to a ping, but maybe not because it seems to load populated servers first and you have to leave it running for a minute to get to the zero-population servers. And it wont load the same number of servers in two consecutive searches.
Anyway, try this: Click on the players to sort from low to high. Notice no empty servers ... DO NOT PRESS REFRESH and let it search for a minute. Now my list looks like this when I click on the Player Sort .. filled with empty dayz servers ... depressing isnt it :(
