You should be able to use "setmaster" to add and re-enable master servers in
your autoexec.cfg.
setmaster
Usage: setmaster <add | remove | enable | disable> <IP:port>
The two main servers (right now) are:
72.165.61.189:27011
69.28.151.162:27011
so what you do is add these to your autoexec.cfg:
setmaster add 72.165.61.189:27011
setmaster add 69.28.151.162:27011
setmaster enable

Well, they are not retards...
I think they disabled master server comunication to avoid international
queries to the server.
This is the reason beause they have their holly 80 ms ping between Peru
and Argentina.
I will not change them because their performance is unique, if you send
a ping from Peru, to any other host in Argentina, even those hosting in
the Telecom datacenter (one of the most importants telecomunications
enterprise here), you will get 270 or 300.
My hosting is just 80!!!
I need this international performance because i am about to launch an
international tournament and the best players are outsside my country.
And about the dlls it's because they wory about security...
You know, inside a dll you can put EVERITHING... Even a malicious trojan
to vulnerate all the datacenter.
Any other idea?
