Introduction
When requesting a list of lobbies e.g. "searching" or "browsing" for lobbies, you must define the filter terms you wish to use before calling Request Lobby List to return the set of matching lobbies.
Steam provides several options for filtering and sorting the resulting lists as outlined below.
Distance
Sets the physical distance for which we should search for lobbies, this is based on the users IP address and a IP location map on the Steam backed.

The UELobbyDistanceFilter option for lobby distance ... Default is the default 🤔
Example
Slots Available

Slots Available
The number of open slots that must be open.
Example
Near Value
Sorts the results closest to the specified value.
Near filters don't actually filter out values, they just influence how the results are sorted. You can specify multiple near filters, with the first near filter influencing the most, and the last near filter influencing the least.

Result Count
Sets the maximum number of lobbies to return. The lower the count the faster it is to download the lobby results & details to the client.
Valve limits this to a max, currently 50, Lobbies are not meant to be used as a discovery tool for every possible session running. Lobbies are meant for matchmaking. Ideally, you will search for the 1 top lobby that best matches your search arguments and join it.
