That doesnt work which is why I am trying to copy paste the ip or something within the game. If I click on any of those servers from play4dead I get the steam window come up and say server not responding.
How do you manually connect to an ip within the game?

Hilarious.
Also, the blank server list appears to be spreading its infestation to Canada as well ;P
It is happening for me again..... Here are the facts from me (shamelessly crossposted from another topic):
* It started around build 201. * It happens with the vanilla launcher and the experimental menumod. * The servers take 10-30 seconds to appear, then after trying to join a server (usually it's full....) the list never appears again - even if I let it sit there for an hour. * Restarting the game does not help.... * Creating a listenserver and then trying the server browser does not work... * Using the <a href="http://www.play4dead.com/ns2/#" target="_blank">http://www.play4dead.com/ns2/#</a> website and clicking "Join Server" only produces a steam window with server info and the text "Server not respnding". * Using the abovementioned website and noting the ip:port and trying to connect via console does not work either.... The error message is "disconnected from server - Couldn't establish a connection with the server". * For good measure I tried a cold reboot of my computer, router and cable modem. No effect... :( * Another update: Yes, of course I tried the tips from the troubleshooting post (checked firewall and port forwarding, ....) although it seems quite pointless since it worked flawlessly before....
I just recently got the black server list as well, but however I figured out a temporary work around.
Starting at the server list screen (If its black) 1. go back to main menu 2. go to options 3. go back to main menu 4. go click on join (either it will be black again or showing list) 5. repeat until server lists shows up.

ArmoryChamber.net #1 188.40.104.240:27021
would be
connect 188.40.104.240:27020
does uwe know about this bug? didnt read a statement so far or did i just miss it?
Do I open console and use connect 74.122.197.230:27015 (subtracting 1 from the port number as suggested)
Or something similar cause that does not work.
How do you manually connect to an ip within the game?
But it doesn't work either

At least mine did.

Connect IP:Port
and
Connect IP: Port-1
Don't work as well. (Couldn't establish connection)

It's frustrating.
