Software bug/UI anomaly in Eddie client server rating system

Recommended Posts

Hi AirVPN Support / Developers,

I’m reaching out regarding a persistent UI bug/calculation anomaly in the Eddie client's server rating system. Currently, the 5-star column on the server list is effectively non-functional for many users, displaying 0 stars (completely empty graphics) across almost the entire network.

The breakdown appears to stem directly from the ScorePerc() calculation logic in the client source when using the default Speed scoring rule:

  1. The Speed Rule Clip: Under the default Speed rule, the raw Score() heavily weights unscaled server load, user density, and latency metrics. If this raw sum exceeds 420, scoreF crosses 5, hitting the hard stop condition: if (scoreF > 5) part = 0;.

  2. The Result: Because modern baseline infrastructure traffic and standard user counts easily push the raw sum past 420 on most healthy, operational servers, the function instantly drops part to 0. This renders the stars_0.png graphic across the board, making a fast, perfectly usable server look completely dead or unrated to the end-user.

  3. The Inconsistency: Switching the dropdown to the Latency rule heavily divides the load/user metrics, which drops the raw score back down and suddenly swings the UI the exact opposite way—pinning almost every nearby server to a full 5 stars.

Because the Speed rule doesn't scale modern server capacities well, the star column has become misleading rather than helpful, forcing users to ignore it entirely and manually sort by raw ping.

Could the scoring formula or the hardcoded upper threshold (scoreF > 5) be reviewed or scaled differently in a future Eddie update so the visual ratings accurately reflect usable bandwidth?
