    Hey @iyo908,

    the solution to this should be pretty simple: Go to Settings -> Gameplay -> Standard -> Switch Player Created Content on.

    If it's set to "off", it won't show platoon symbols or tags and the servers will appear as numbers.

    It worked! thank you very much

    Though, I would prefer those to be different settings.
    Since it does not say explicitly that this can effect server name. Also does not really make sense when you think about official servers, which is affected by this setting too.

      I somewhat agree - the description is not very detailed.

      But about the server names - that is somewhat player created content, since the servers have individual names, although it could affect rented servers only.

      The setting also affects the display of emblems and platoon tags in game.
