<div class="IPBDescription">This has somthing to do with NS.</div> What does this have to do with NS? Well ever since i installed NS. Every single one of my computers that i put NS on has this problem. It will try and load all 27k servers. Yes i got rid of the NS desktop icon, and yes i know how to use the filters. I know i am not the only person with this problem, since i tried to look for a solution on this forum.

Ive tried a few things so far. Tried delteing my favservers.dat, no dice. Tried re-installing the most recent Hl patch, no dice. ect ect.

Anyways, has anyone found a way to fix this, because its begining to get very annoying.

    It's happening to me now, too.

    This happened to me before when I was heavily into the SvenCoop mod. Someone at the forum there claimed it was because WON.net was down, so there was no comprehensive database of all the servers and what game they were running, so HL defaulted to its own built-in game-finder which does not work with filters.

    If WON.net comes back online, the problem will go away... but only until next time their bandwidth gets a bit too massive for the guys footing the bill.

    Ironically, you're right in that NS is responsible for breaking the filters on all of your mods... but ONLY because more people are playing Half-Life. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Of course, this is all just hearsay. Anyone who knows what they're talking about want to reply to this thread? Please?

    It's happening to me too!

    It also started the day I installed NS (nov 31st).

    All Seeing Eye can be good, but I want my filters back!

    This happened to me as well. I thought that all was lost and then I started NS up differently and all is good. How you fix it is just(the way the you havenet tried yet) Start NS form the start menue or from HL costum games. worked for me I hope it does for you to

    Nukethe, that isnt my problem. I already said i got rid of the desktop link. Maybe the won servers are down which would be a gooe explination, but when i re-installed the patch it worked for a while (untill i rebooted) and the problem resurfaced.

    I set up a batch file, so that every time I start NS, it executes:

    del f:\Half-Life\favsvrs.dat

    F:\half-life\hl.exe -console -32bpp...... etc

    Deleting the favsvrs.dat usually does the trick.

    What about the "-noipx" argument in NS shortcuts?
    Is it really needed? Why?
    I don't know, maybe it messed our connection somehow.

    it happens to me too. i just exit half-life and restart it and the problem usually goes away.

    I have the same problem. It seems to alternate between working and not working randomly.

    I think it does have something to do with valves servers, you notice the little "getting servers" window that counts down time. Well, when that times out it goes to the backup servers, which don't work with filters... so you get all 27,000 or whatever it is HL servers, from all mods, everywhere in the world.

    I don't think its a client side problem.
