in NS2 General Discussion
<div class="IPBDescription">Join - Refreshbutton = 0 Server</div>Well, my Firewall isnt the Problem at all, also I delete the game and installed it again, but every time I´m searching for servers it doesnt work.

But when I gave in the console "connect server IP" i can connect to exact 3 Servers from the NS 2 Liste -.- How can I see more Servers?

    That is a coincidence as Spark is not related to Source in any way :P

    I had a similar issue earlier, no servers showed up. When they finally did, it was just 1 server, random each time. Then I replaced my (really old:P) router and have never had any server-finding issues after that:)

    Weird, I'd like to know about this problem.

    Could you post a screenshot from your main menu? I just want to make sure you've got the latest version of the game (it will show you only your version).

    Hey there! By the Way thanks for the great work and non stop working to fix bugs and other stuff.

    When I had the Problem i had the Version 179.... Did everything you told in the Connection Tutorials and know my PC very well so it was pretty weird. After Downloading HL2 every Server was there :)

    So your firewall probably had the ports blocked that are needed for NS2 and automatically unblocked them with the installation of HL2. (NS2 uses the same ports.)

    don't know if this is related, but when I click multiple times refresh in really short intervals the server list gets empty and it won't come back until you've restarted the game.

    I think that's the same behaviour as in all Steam server lists. The master server will block your IP for a short time if you spam serverlist requests. Probably it would work again without restarting NS2 if you wait like 30 seconds or a minute before refreshing again. Maybe NS2 needs a "quick refresh" that only requests status updates from the servers in the list, not requesting a new list.

    I get this half the time aswell. I need to create a server and then disconnect in the console, before a server list shows up.

    I got that bug too sometimes, the last time was 6 seconds ago thats why i want to write here.
    After using steam webbrowser, the servers was visible.
    What i did?
    1. Start the game b189, servers = no single server...
    2. go back to menu
    3. wait 10 seconds
    4. go back to serverlist and voilá all servers are visible now.
    Maybe the game has to connect to some server or something.
    try just to wait some time in main menu, that helps or just surf with steam some seconds.
    It helps ^^
    The bug is also very rare, maybe the playtime is necessary, more player = the longer the server need to answer?

    Works for me Price !

    I've been having this bug a lot since last build. Maybe you should add some verbose to the server list, so we can see what is going on.

    Had the same problem in 189. Was so hype to try out this patch, refreshed, no servers..?!?!? Not even servers with 0 people in it, just a empty square. Pressed refresh about 20 times, servers appeared after a couple of hits....weird

    I have the problem mostly when using the non flash menu mod. Although it works sometimes by itself and changing the video settings made it work for some reason.

    Hey Gwex

    maybe i can help you. It seems like the same Problem i had. My simple solution: Join -> click into the input field next to "Game" -> delete everything, maybe there is a space... no gamename starts with a space ;)
    i hope it was the problem.

    Alright, here it is happening for me now.

    If it helps for Bughunting:

    - I restarted my Router while I was on a server
    - connection lost, disconnect
    - refreshed server list, no servers
    - alt-tab to check if connection was there: it was
    - another try to refresh
    - restarted steam: still no servers
    - verified cache in steam: "1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired", but it didn't download anything
    - got into the game, waited some seconds as suggested
    - still no servers for me

    EDIT: Ha, here they are again after another steam restart.

    However, the game seems to have a problem with the server list (even if restarting router while playing is never a good idea :D)

    I was able to see the servers played a combat game and left it to check out normal ns2 games but than I notice this error, "Authentication error" once that error popped server list went blank. Restarting steam didn't work, so i guess we have to wait.

    I have persistently for the past two days not been able to refresh the server list. Restarting Steam, internet connection and computer does not resolve the issue. It began yesterday when Steam's servers went down (no friends list, in-game items in games like TF2 etc.)

    As there is no option to filter/search for servers in the normal server listing built into Steam, outside the Spark Engine, so this is a completely game ruining problem.

    Is it just Steam's servers causing this? Is there a server listing located somewhere online? I'll copy and paste IPs all day I don't mind but this is just awful :(

    EDIT: I saw the retweeted post about it likely being Steam so huge bummer.

    I think steam is having problems. I've been getting sync errors and also problems in Dota 2 related to connecting to servers.
