Hi Punt and Nix:)

I have noticed something strange and I wondered if you were aware of it.

Some times the....http://www.ocainsane.com/serverwatcher/serverwatcher.php...says "ERROR CONNECTION TIME OUT". At the same time my UT game server browser says "9999" for ping to your server. Refreshing doesn't help! And it won't connect.
Now for the bit that is confusing me......If I go to TDM servers tag in game browser and find the OCA or PM server, it often says all is fine!! If I then add it to favs, it appears in favs all working ok. But the previous entry for your server still says "9999" and can't be used to connect!

I have tried editing it and find the port No reads "0" , if I change it to "7777" and then refresh, it still doesn't work because it reverts back to "0".......I tried "auto update" ticked and unticked but this made no differance Confused

So I get left with two identical entries in my favs for your server, one works one won't. Confused

HELP

Ive noticed this as well but havent a clue as to why Sad

I would have thought that the favorites tab and the TDM servers tab
get their information from the same place. Confused

Hi LeeBe.
MMMMmmmmmmm! Perhaps it's something real simple that we are missing!

<joking mode on>
Ok I will look closer next time it happens. Lets see if my razor sharp mind can get to the bottom of this problem........I've been known to cut through warm butter sometimes with my incisive thought process..............LOL

I even worked out how to set up the video to record something yesterday Smile

I have that same problem in favs too,so do this:

Right click on favs and take open location there,then enter ip & port number and i connect fine. Cool

UT server just has a knack for automatically fucking itself up, it's not even funny. *sighs dramatically*

I really didnt change anything and UT just suddenly decides to turn off web admin and server functions halfway during each game. They should talk to Microsoft and swap war stories.

I guess I'll have to reinstall from scratch. Hmm. Hmmmmm

Shiiit I was busy with my 'UT server install project' which I intended to be a nice, clean and working install for linux but for the life of me I can't remember if I was bright enough to actually SAVE+ZIP the thing when it worked properly.

Murphy's law dictates I didnt. *sob*

We'll see.. Anyway I'll try to fix it later this week, its too annoying to have to manually connect, plus we're losing players that think we're down. Sux.

Yeah thats strange, I just tried it and Wayzor is right - it changes query port number! After change its +5 so 7778 become 7783 and 7789 become 7794. Weird.

Hmm from the top of my head I think what you describe sounds familiar (i.e. it is supposed to work like that) but I'll look into it. (or feel free to browse the web yourself too Wink

). One thing is certain, UT doesn't tell me that it's changing over.

On the other hand, I had the impression that it happens less lately, or?

Same here,query port is different than in the favorites...guess i have to add all ports from 7772 to 7788 to favorites,atleast one of them should work... Wink
