Server not showing up in the InGame browser

[Mazzic]

Alright I have setup a server and am unable to get it to show up in the Ingame browser. I do not have a firewall block ports and am on a dedicated connection to the internet.

I'm converting from running my Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Spearhead and Breakthrough servers...

I see when I start the server, it resolves the IP for codmaster.activision.com so that it can send the heartbeat. But it never attempts to do the resolve for codauthorize.activision.com.

Thinking I had put a bad server side mod or such on, I went ahead and uninstalled and removed all registry settings that I could locate. After a reboot, I did a fresh install.

Is there a cvar or registry setting that enables or disables the attempts to authorize???

It sounds like you might have started it with dedicated 1 which is a lan server. You need to start it with dedicated 2.

Hi Inherent..

Here is my shortcut for starting the server...

"C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\CoDMP.exe" +set dedicated 2 +set sv_maxclients 32 +set g_gametype sd +exec mazzic.cfg

Now for the cfg file..

anyone see anything wrong?

This is running on a MSI KT4V motherboard which has a built in NIC. Was there any truth to some of the statements that I heard about ingame browser troubles when using the built in nic?

[thejerk]

I haven't really gone through any of your config, so I don't know if it's something wrong there, but...

I came across a problem with the in-game browser where it will only show a small amount of the servers available. I sometimes have to hit the refresh list three or four times in quick succession to get it to show the full list (and this number is only based on what other people are telling me they're seeing). I can't say if this is my ISP, my computer or a glitch in the browser, but thought this might be the same problem you're having with your server not showing up.

Next chance you get, give that a try (hit refresh list two or more times in quick succession). If you notice a big difference in the number of servers shown, then this is probably what's wrong.

Can you resolve codauthorize.activision.com?

[Mazzic]

Yes..

I find it interesting that it never says it is trying to resolve for codauthorize.activision.com. You would think it would say it then try to do it.

Ok I fixed my server listing problem by adding the gamespy master. Add this in your server config or type it in the console and change the map.

seta sv_master2 "Master.gamespy.com:27900"

You should then see in the console when its working

Sending heartbeat to codmaster.activision.com
Sending heartbeat to Master.gamespy.com:27900

good luck

[Mazzic]

Alright, I finally got it to work. I do not know why it would not work with the default settings...but...

I added

+set net_lanauthorize 1

to my shortcut startup and it then handled the call to codauthorize.activision.com. It is now showing in the Ingame browser.
