Weird Multi-player problem

[dcarber]

I was playing JK2 on multiplayer and having a great time getting my butt kicked even as I was kicking butt. The host lost their connection, so I tried joining another game. Couldn't do it because they were patched and I wasn't. Fine I says, so I get the patch and install it. Here's the problem:

 

Now, after installing that patch, I can't see *ANY* servers. Not a single thing has changed with my system, we're talking a 5 minute process of downloading and patching the game.

 

Not behind a firewall, not having any connection problems with my system...it just doesn't work.

 

I'm running an AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 512Mb ram, adequate video card, Windows XP home with all updated drivers/patches, no proxy, no home lan just a direct shoot from my machine to the cable modem.

 

Anyone have any ideas on whats going on? Is this a problem with the patch that other people are experiencing?

If you are using the in-game browser, make sure (i think it's) source or something (in the actual browser window) is set to 'Internet' and not 'Local' or anything else.

 

I'd recommend using the All Seeing Eye, which is an external game finder : http://www.udpsoft.com/eye/ .

 

Hope it helps.

Is this within the past couple days (may 30/31st)? I've noticed it too. Is the master server down or something?

Possibly...

 

They take it down for maintenance from time to time, depends on when you're online.

The master server IS down... it's all on the main news page! Pfft!

 

But he said he had the problem ever since he installed the patch, unless he installed it yesterday or today.
