1.3 Server Not showing up in the game browser

[NegaTiveCreep]

Okay i've upgraded from 1.1 to 1.3, I did the large linux ver. Because this way i didn't have to deal with xdelta. But anyway I've got the server up and running no problem but it just won't show up on the internet. So I'm not sure if its something with my config file or not but i'm just running a simple config nothing fancy no mods yet. i'll past a copy of my config and tell me if you see something in there that doesn't seem right. I've tried adding master0.gamespy.com and a bunch of other ones like that to the sv_master part but no luck. So any ideas would be very helpful. Thank you!!

How is it run? is it co-located? is there a firewall in place. Are all ports opened.

1.1 was ran with no problems before people can still connect to the server if they know the ip address so its not that.

Try adding this to your config:

seta sv_master1 "codmaster.activision.com"
seta sv_master2 "master0.gamespy.com"
seta sv_master3 "clanservers.net"
seta sv_master4 "master3.idsoftware.com"
seta sv_gamespy "1"

Then shut down your server for at least 30 - 60 minutes. Restart it and see how that goes...

Note: When searching in the in-game browser, make sure to refresh enough to see all servers. The browser is buggy as it only shows some of the servers with a refresh and requires multple refreshes to show all - just look at the servers listed after your refresh; there should be 3000+ when you have all of them in there..

That did not work for me.

Are you using

+set dedicated 2

in your command line?

[NegaTiveCreep]

yeah i'm using dedicated 2 in my command line

What's the EXACT server name and IP?

You can't fix this. It is a known bug in the netcode. All that IW will do is set up client caching of the list with patch 1.4. The problem is that the database locks up and times out, thereby dropping servers. Try to refresh your list. Notice how it can vary from 1000 to 3900 servers? That means the Database is pooched. That number should never change until servers are added. A rapid change in numbers indicates that there is something seriously wrong in the way Activision's master server processes information. Brian Kuhn from IW said that it was a netcode issue and they were changing it in 1.4. It won't fix it. It is a database issue.
