[WR] SkiZZor Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Okay, so I wanted to go on Nolf2 just to see if there was any activity at all...and I am greeted with a 2 minute wait on the 'Refreshing List..." screen as the master server tries to bring up all of the servers being hosted. When it finally does load, I see 3 empty working servers...and 25 servers with a ping of 65535. If the person who is making these servers is reading this, I beg of you to stop. Your servers DO NOT WORK...SO PLEASE STOP TRYING. If you want to host a mod just to see how it works; make a LAN server. If you are trying to host an internet server; make sure that you have the ports that Nolf2 needs to use are open. If your server does not work, shut it down, and wait for it to disappear off the list before trying it again. And actually change some options before trying to rehost a server. Thank you.

P!NX Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 yes, I am one of these guys (the one red marked), but actually im not just trying to host servers, i host them and they are working!! The problem there is at the moment is a different: As soon as one shuts down his server (as it's only a game hosted from my pc, i don't leave it running all the time) the server doesn't dissappear from the list but remains there as "pinged out". The server below mine, you see there seem to be 2 people in it, but how should this be possible if it is "pinged out" ? That means that it was really up some days ago, then got shut down and remained in the list. So you can't blame anyone for hosting not-working servers, cause it seems to be a problem with the master server (i hosted this server in the list 5 days ago i think) and as you don't play as much i do anyways, it shouldn't be so hard to wait 2 minutes once or twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAssER Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 suglylinni already said everything it ain't the servers wich don't work - it's the master server not clearing the old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantizen Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 So... Not only do they fail to support the game but they have reduced the performance of the lobby server even more? I didn't think that was possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[WR] SkiZZor Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have FEAR, I hate it. I didn't know that this was a master server issue. But after a few days of it being like this, I guess it is. Anyways, I believe that all the lagged out servers in the list have a great impact on the pings of the working servers. My ping used to be 15 or so in the {SFI} American server, but now it is around 70. Is there anyway that the list can be cleared out by contacting them or anything (even though the efforts are probably in vain?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FEAR is a natural emotion when you encounter something new and different. It's OK, you have nothing to FEAR but FEAR itself! I have FEAR, I love it.

Phantizen Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 FEAR is a perfectly natural reaction to a dangerous environment full of wallhackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliteone Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Guys I apreciate that you are really into FEAR but hijacking threads to promote it doesn't address this point of this topic. Post about FEAR in this section http://www.unityhq.net/forums//forums/index.php?showforum=80 to your heart's content. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantizen Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Getting back on the topic of this lobby server issue and the lobby server in general... There has been some talk elsewhere of the need for a community patch for Nolf2. I think the last Far Cry patch was a community-made patch. It sounds like an autojoin executable that let's you join servers by IP would be good to include since we are always at the mercy of the lobby server and have no guarantees that it will always be there.

Lodingi Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 why the hell are there soooooooo many servers? i counted 60 deathmatch servers & 50 doomsday servers. there are only 30 nolfers left in the universe. that's 3.666 servers per nolfer. it now takes 5-10 minutes to get into a server. grrrr.

Eliteone Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Partly why I updated the SFI DD server direct connect tool in the dowloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 majority of the servers are KH servers. why do these guys insist on making servers. i barely see any KH's around and i rarely see anyone in their servers (when it was actually working).

discoMIME Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Do you think it would be possible to include something into 1.4 update which stops loading servers with 65555 IPs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belladonna Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Ugh, it sucks the big one waiting for that mammoth list of servers then finding I can't connect to any of them., 'Server is not responding'. I hate that message. What is with all the KH servers? I thought they didn't really play much NOLF anymore? I swear there are forces out there trying to destroy what is left of NOLF2.

SAssER Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 but it takes the same time to load the list - filtered or not I hate Sierra VU.. Why aren't they supporting their "old" games: I sent an email like 2 weeks ago.. after 2 days there was an auto responding message that they'll answer my mail in 24-48 hours I hope we can fix that with v1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
