Unable to find any servers.

Post by Carbon-73 »

My installation was successful, in that I have had no errors yet, but for some reason, when I go to the server list, the list is empty. I have allowed the game in my firewall settings and nothing. Either the servers are down, which I highly doubt or something is blocking the connection.

Could anyone help me out here.

My guess is: you haven't updated yet?

Shutdown PR.
Restart PRLauncher.
Check for updates.
Then start PR.

Or, you have a particular port blocked...

[quote=""'[R-COM"]LITOralis.nMd;1876243']I'm stumped on the ingame server browser not finding servers.


A working solution, but not a permanent fix, is to do the following:
Open web browser, go to PRSPY webpage
- connecting via PRSPY: Game starts, then shows this message "Your connection to the server has been lost."
Keep PR open.
alt-tab back to web browser
Connect to server again using PRSPY.

--------------------
TO try to fix,

option 1 which everyone should be doing:

Also, try Psyrus 's partial fix for the connection lost to server error. This might fix the initial connection errors.

option 2, specific to your problem:
Sounds like the Gamespy Arcade server browser ports are blocked,
specifically Default Battlefield 2 server port; UDP 29900

but others as well:

And finally, please check your firewall, antivirus and router to make sure your software or hardware is not blocking the gamespy ports.[/quote]

[quote="Knautscher""]Have tons of my finest thanks good sir! :)

It seems to have been this TCP port:

28900 (Master Server List Request)


I just added that port (because of it's name) et voil?: 71 servers in the server browser. This particular port was not in the list of a German site I had used for setting up my port config, so thanks for pointing me at Gamespy directly, next time I'll know where to look!

I'll keep my eyes open for a few days, but it seems to have been fixed.

Should any other problems arise, I will start by using the other fixes you posted and only then will check back.

Swift reply, issue resolved - THANKS![/quote]

Thanks for the quick reply, it was actually a process I failed to allow with my firewall. :-|
My mistake, I only allowed one of them and not both, so this time I allowed the main one and the sub category one, if that makes any sense... Or it could have been PB?

You guys may close the thread. Thanks.
