Query Master Server from Europe/Germany?

by Stefan Beffy Moises · in Torque Game Engine · 09/14/2003 (6:18 am) · 16 replies

Hey there, I can't seem to connect to the default GG master server to join a game from Germany...
I get this error:
No master servers found in this region, trying IP:216.116.32.49:28002.
Requesting the server list from master server IP:216.116.32.49:28002 (2 tries left)...

I have the standard settings :
$Pref::Server::RegionMask = 2;
$pref::Master[0] = "2:master.garagegames.com:28002";

Maybe I need a diff. RegionMask?

thx for any hint :)

Hi,

I'm from germany too and I have the same problem. But a friend of me has the same version of the engine as I aso. Everything is like I have it and he doesnt have the problem.

Maybe it's a firewall issue?

Yeah, most likely it's a firewall issue. I get the no masters in this region too here in Argentina, but It then connects to the USA master correctly.

Nope, my firewall would tell me... and I've just disabled it, no change... no masterservers found...

Stefan: Then it's timing out for some reason, maybe your isp is blocking the port.

Hm, i havnt this prob. my gameserver runs the complete weekend and many ppl play on it.

when u have a router, than open port for RW.

Yeah, I begin to suspect my ISP (Telekom, TDSL)... guess they are blocking some "ununsual" ports... grrr
@Christian: what provider do you have?

Hey Beffy, "Received server list packet 1 of 1 from the master server (0 servers)." -- Maybe it's working and there just aren't any servers up?

Nope, at least our own dedicated server should be there... :(

Hey, wait. Ben is right, it IS receiving the server list.
There are 0 servers.. it's a problem on your server side. Make sure your Game modes in the script are the same and everything... I had this problem with my firewall... I wasn't restricting the ports but for some reason the GG master server couldn't see my own server. Of course it was solved by turning down all rules on the firewall while I wanted to play.

@Stefan: Try a LAN query. If your servers pops up, firewall problem, else server problem.

EXo: yeah, LAN works... but I've disabled my firewall and my proxy server, still I cant see any default Torque game nor our dedicated server ...
but Think Tanks works and displays lots of servers... :?
EDIT: and it even works if I turn on my firewall and proxy...

Maybe TT uses a different port?

Um... 8-/
hehe, call me the fool of the month...
ever heard of the nice lil' pref?
$Pref::Net::DisplayOnMaster
Well, if you set this to "Never", your game won't show up on the Master Server... :P
And guess what I had in there... :/ ... and totally forgot about it...
I've even posted this in our snippet db some time ago...
