So it's not displaying the amount of players wrong per se, because the server still has the slot reserved to the player who left. After that time, the slot opens for new player. And the number in front of players in Lobby is reflecting that, that's why players position numbers are not rearranged if someone leaves. I'm sure there's a better technical explanation why, but I'm wrong person to answer that. And of course it's not written in stone that we'll keep it that way.That good to know. I like to join servers that are on the full side, so I will refresh host list until I see a 24/24 host I want to join has 23/24 or less. And usually I can't join first try, it take a few tries.
