The problem has been found and fixed, if your server isn't listed on the master server lists (or in particular has only 207.173.177.11 and 207.173.177.12 as its master servers, found using the "setmaster" command) then restart your server now and it will pickup new servers.
The problem was caused by one of our ISPs incorrectly filtering certain UDP traffic to our servers. We are tracking down why right now but in the mean time we have setup master servers at different locations that will be unaffected by the filtering. - Alfred ----Original Message---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alfred Reynolds Sent: Sunday, May 15, 2005 9:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds_apps] Missing game servers on MasterServers list ? > That drop is unrelated to the update (the update was 12 hour before > the drop, and the drop was extremely sharp which doesn't match the > update profile of servers).
