Multiserver 2.0

Well... I don't know what's the rationale behind converting it to C++ but...

Anyways, calling ping command is a horrible idea because
1- it's a blocking operation
2- unnecessarily expensive since you're creating a new process
3- it's unnecessarily inefficient and stupid trying to capture and parse standard output of ping command

I would suggest using async methods of Ping class. I don't know how much it's applicable to your C++ code base though.

Well for the most part it is for myself to understand C++ better.

I guess you are right about the Ping command, the best way would be to do it with asynchronous programming, using F5 to speed up LF2 while preventing the game to speed up by inserting virtual lag, as SomeoneElse mentioned somewhere before.
