egoicepick Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Our last straw, QTracker will shut down their Gamespy Emulation Master Server at 1st August 2017. http://www.qtracker.com/news.php Quote Well, I started off this evening shutting Qtracker down. After playing Ark for a bit, clearer heads have prevailed and I'm just shutting down my Gamespy emulation. Unfortunately the minority is ruining it for the majority and my Gamespy servers have been the target of many attacks within the past few years. This has resulted in downtime, lots of wasted money, countless wasted hours (that could've went towards the new version of Qtracker), and tons of stress. So, all of Qtrackers Gamespy emulation servers will be shut down on 8/1/2017. This should give mod authors plenty of time to move to other solutions. And the Forum is blocked, there QTracker says Quote Gamespy emulation is going down on 8/1/2017. The forums are down temporarily so I don't have to listen to people complain. So the only way to join servers would be via the external programm URA or via OneOakWay.com. So the old fashioned way to join the servers via the nolf menu, won't be possible anymore. I find it incredibly stupid that you cannot even do some kind of petition in his forum, because he shut it down - make in accessible for others to write / retrieve technical help - although I do understand it, I find it still a bit childish. And who else is using QTracker? Counterstrike players? Why should they use an alternative master server? Quote
orion98 Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Yes, this is bad news for games NOLF and Contract J.A.C.K. The game-servers will not work ... "Gamespy emulation is going down on 8/1/2017. The forums are down temporarily so I don't have to listen to people complain." http://www.qtracker.com/phpBB3/index.php OMG ... Quote
Eliteone Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 If you use URA's launchers they point to the "master server" that I've been running since the old master server shutdown. I have it setup to broadcast NOLF, NOLF 2 and Contract Jack servers. Quote
egoicepick Posted July 4, 2017 Author Posted July 4, 2017 Hoi Eliteone, I haven't tried it yet, but is it possible to put multiple servers and register them via URA's launcher? Quote

egoicepick Posted July 28, 2017 Author Posted July 28, 2017 I posted on ego-clan.com/howtoplaynolf.html about different ways of joining a nolf server after 1st August. I also figured out a way how to register my server with URA-Multiplayer programm, but it makes my taskbar on the server quite messy. (3 servers + 3 cmd programms running in the background to keep URA's Server updated). Quote
orion98 Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 "Vietcong" solved this problem: Qtracker is shutting down gamespy emulation:http://www.qtracker.com/news.php This would make the Vietcong in-game serverlist unavailable. @Brchi has created a new gamespy emulation server as a replacement. Players are asked to change their hosts-file entry: Old Qtracker: 65.112.87.186 master.gamespy.com Replace with new server: 94.130.27.156 master.gamespy.com Quote
