The UT 2004 Master Server is broken?

Post by a nameless entity » Fri Sep 23, 2011 11:11 pm

It seems that the master server may be all messed up:

For at least two weeks searching for any buddies that might be online somewhere has been slow as molasses. Tonight such a search would just give me a long bogus listing of the two servers in my favourites, showing them over and over again in a list, with the names of maps played recently at the top, and "unknown" beneath that.

Searching for servers with some of the more arcane game types like Mutant, or Invasion generates garbage or nothing. You might immediately be told that your search timed out, or any of a number of other things.

Searching for Deathmatch will get you a few proper listings, with the names of many more servers beneath those, but with unknown maps being played, and no info on the number of players.

It is all very odd indeed. As a check, would someone else please go have a look and see if it's broken for you as well?

I think it is all good again. Last night everything was back to normal. I guess the gradual deterioration finally alerted someone to do a server reboot. :idea:

Well since that last post it has been on and off again reliable. The buddy list is very slow to become available to check, and is also very slow while searching. The server lists under the various game types will be really messed up too, when the buddy list is bad.
The less popular the game type is, the more messed up it seems to be during those times when the master server is having problems.

Can you join a game with others and see if they have the same issues?
