î tried the play4 list and direct connect to skulkrush or HBZ from console, cant enter the severs even there are people playing right now and free slots ###### i hate steam sometimes i mean if this happens for 20 minutes ok but for hours at the weekend ??
Started NS2, had the no server bug, ALT+TAB came to forum and read the 1st page of this thread, ALT+TAB back to find all the servers listed. There were even free slots on my favourite 18 player server.

Same, I think you just need to let it sit there for a long time. Annoying, but glad it's semi-working.
I posted this is another thread like this one, but I'll add it here, too.
If the last server you connected to wasn't a localhost server, you can always type "retry" in console. The last server you played on is saved as a global variable in options.xml file. I wrote it this way because we had some issues before with entire LUA files being reset on-connect so it's pretty difficult to get around. I haven't checked to see if the system has changed, but I'll find out. If so, I'll make some proper changes to it... but for now you can connect to any server you were last on, even if you close the game and re-open it.

Are you trolling, or just happy to spam?
Remember or write down the IP address of server you want to join.
Start up NS2, press tilde key "`" to bring down console.
Type connect and IP address of server to join game.
For example "connect 199.192.205.187"

Also, manually connecting says "could not establish connection with server"

Also, first post. Hi everyone.
Just bought the game, used to play NS years ago, was awsome.
Excited to play it again, but bam, servers aren't showing up!
I'll have to try the play4dead connnect method, if that doesn't work, I'm just droning around in local play.
The new HUD just makes.. makes me wet.
I just read the thread till this post. So if its already written don't slay me.
If it still don't work go to:
www.play4dead.com/ns2
Get the ip from a server you want to join and note it.
Open ns2, then the console, connect "ip. If it's full spam retry in console.
They do. I just did a retry in console and connected to the server I was on last night.
i test connecting to a server per ip "connect IP:port" but did not work, i am sure its down, what ever server does it.

Seems like everything is working again lol
Shut down NS and started up again didn't fix it.
I'm getting this now. I have to wait a few minutes before servers appear.
