Not getting list of servers

[Shnitzel]

I've opened the appropriate ports in my router, but I can't see the servers in Multiplayer
Query complete, 0 servers.
Please help me.

When you click Multiplayer for the 1st time...does the browser connect to the news-server?

 

[Shnitzel]

Yes, it does.

Try opening a server IP address by hand !

 

[Shnitzel]

How do I do that?

 

[Paajtor]

Right-click in the (empty) server-list, and select from menu.
Browse the forums for IP's.

 

[Shnitzel]

I couldn't find any server IPs here in the forums.
I searched Google, and found one.
I did what you said, and it went to a black screen (press F10 to cancel, blah blah blah) as it should. But it didn't connect. I waited for about 12 minutes, and then canceled. I tried returning to the Main Menu with the "back" button, but it wouldn't let me, kept saying failed to connect. I shut it down with the task manager eventually.
I really want to play the Multiplayer... I bought the game about 10 month ago, and played in the Multiplayer all the time until I had problems with my internet connection and my ISP. The problem was fixed 2 weeks ago -_-, had to wait 5 month... And now I can't play my favorite game >.>
Any ideas?

CHeck to see if your ISP is blocking ports now, it could be on there end instead of yours.

 

[Shnitzel]

It can't be them. I have a few other games which are working on the same ports RO does. And they are working just fine.

I'm having the same problem, except my screen shows 248 +/- servers found but none show on the screen. Its not the ports. I've tried it both ways with no difference. Also, I play on my laptop and see all of the servers without any ports being forwarded.

So the bottom line is that it must be a local issue with the specific PC I'm having trouble with

If no servers are showing up, check practice mode to see if you can see maps. If not you have some corrupt files. Delete your system folder and verify cache.

 

[Shnitzel]

Practice works, with all the maps.
That's the only thing I can do in the game...

Ok if you aren't getting servers in the server list, can you connect to a server by IP, either in the console or by adding it to your favorites list?

 

[Shnitzel]

As I mentioned above, I tried that.
Maybe the IP I used wasn't good.
Can you give me a good one? I can't find any.

 

[Yoshiro]

Try any of these

Tripwire Dev’s East US #3 – 50 Players!!! – 69.12.53.10:7757
TWB's "Old Glory" West US – 50 Players!!! – 69.12.100.138:7757

I actually had that same bug once after using tcpoptimizer but with the wrong settings.

Had to use some winsock fix to get it to work again.

 

[Shnitzel]

ok, it added the servers to the favorite, and I can connect to them.
Do I need to add all the servers manually now?!

 

[Yoshiro]

Ok if you can connect to servers your problem is the master server port which feeds you the server list is being blocked most likely somewhere along the chain.

Also do a quick check of your filters in multiplayer. If it is set to none try standard servers only, if it is set to standard servers only try setting it to none.

 

[Shnitzel]

I got ports 20600 to 28902 tcp and udp open for RO and another game.
I'm not using any filters, and I tried with standard servers.

I get this sometimes too, cant get server list but can connect to servers. It's my router buggin' out. All the sudden it blocks any traffic related to steam, ro, msn, utorrent, email clients... you name it. All the webbrowsers still work as long as you dont try to log in anywhere (hotmail or gmail).

Very strange issue and it has been going on with 2 differnts ISPs. We've tried everything and it wont do any good. Only solution is for it to wait to happen and then restart it. We're actually getting a new one later thsi week bacause of it.

Anyways, Maybe you could try resetting your network equipment?
