The title pretty much says it all, maybe I just need to re download the game or something, but if I click on a room I can see there are players in the room, but I can not join a room and the normal 0/16 for players is not there along with the pings for each room?
Thanks,

This is probably because you need to allow ICMP pings through your firewall.
This is how we currently connect with servers but will probably be changed in the future 
server* :), well I will try to make the change. I mean I was able to play about 3 days ago… the only change was a moved back to college haha
Alright so maybe it is my “college internet”…
(yes I have allowed ICMP)
I plugged into direct yesterday and everything works fine, but the ping and players do not show up.
So I switched back to wireless well what do you know the ping and players shows back up and everything is fine? I would rather have direct, but I guess wireless is fine, any idea why that happens?
Doesn’t work for me. I have enabled ICMP in windows firewall, and I tested with http://ping-test.net/, and it did show the ping results.
I can see the player list. But I cannot join the servers - its greyed out. And it does not show playercounts. e.g. 0/16.
Had this prob too. Did you have this issues before the latest patch? Do you have a read only cfg? If so, make the cfg writeable and try it again. It could be that some cvars changed due to the update and now DB isnt running. Had this a couple of patches ago.
No its first time I have this problem, and my configs ain’t write protected. But indeed I just removed all my configs, e.g. move the ini’s to a backup folder, and it recreated them all, and I could join a server.
Second thing is, I have ZoneAlarm extreme… it wasn’t started - so windows did take care of some stuff - but I guess its missconfigured thx to ZA. So after starting ZA and clearing configs, game works now for me.
:(Still waiting for new pC, - will be monday I hope)
