This is a known issue with the ingame browser. It looks like there are two many servers for the ingame browser to handle, it only shows 2048 servers. This started after Christmas when people got the game as a present and many more servers were added, we never had the problem till then. It is picking and choosing which ones show up. Unfortunately I can not tell how it is picking and choosing (it's not by name).

Our servers are having the same problem. I have posted in several forums and this is the response I got back from SAC, who runs the servers for Jolt.. it does makes some sense.. you may want to see if your servers are showing up in Gamespy and All Seeing Eye.. ours does.


"Looking at the public servers I've got running atm, out of the 11, 9 have just shown up with the ingame browser. The other 2 are full anyway, and they're not particularly specialised servers that players are likely to have in their favourites, they're just our standard TDM servers.

I'm not sure what rules are used to filter out the 2048 servers but I'd hazzard a guess that while a server may not show to some people when they refresh, it may well do for others. There's certainly no magic tricks that I know of, the only settings I run with are set sv_master1 "codmaster.activision.com" and set sv_gamespy "1".

I'd be tempted to say the secret to having a successful public server isn't about trying to get it showing in the ingame browser, but more about having it configured well and having good uptime. If you can do those and get people on the server, provided they have a good time they'll come back again and again, and you'll end up with a popular server. "

Yea, mine shows in ASE, i do not know about GS, but i dont have the show in gamespy command in the cfg even..but hopefully with the patch they will up that limit...also what does that sv master deal do?

Someone may correct me but I think it registers your server with the CoD master computers. This is what services use when listing what servers are running.
