Hi All,
logged on tonight and noticed very few servers in the list.
The IP address of the master server (master.garagegames.com)
changed tonight sometime
I had this in my game/server/prefs.cs
$pref::Master0 = "2:216.116.32.49:28002";

I changed it to
$pref::Master0 = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002";

The actual ip address of master.garagegames.com is now 69.64.50.217
so you could use
$pref::Master0 = "2:69.64.50.217:28002";

But I don't recommend the last because if they change the ip address of the master server the problem will reoccur

- <-- my cool new sig

Thanks Dash.

Is my server on the list now?

Even better, replace $pref::Master0 = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002"; with these 2 lines:

$pref::Master0 = "2:69.64.50.217:28002";
$pref::Master1 = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002";

If you do it, it'll check FIRST the IP-based master server. If it cannot connect for any reason, it'll try the domain-name based one. You can also put it around, like this:

$pref::Master0 = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002";
$pref::Master1 = "2:69.64.50.217:28002";

This way it tries the domain-name based one first, and if it can't connect tries the IP-based.

Remember it always tries to connect 3 times to each master server!

How come I only see this line

$pref::Master0 = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002";

In the
game/client/prefs.cs file

And not in the
game/server/prefs.cs file
