Did the test master server go down?


(ISV_Damocles) #1

I have to admit that I haven’t played the Enemy Territory test for a few days (busy week), but now its the weekend and I started it up, but it can’t get any servers to come up, so I’m wondering if the master server for Enemy Territory went down, or if there’s a redirect problem on the IP table of my ISP, or what.

Any help would be great.

If you want a place to play try my server, and connect by IP address.

207.2.252.100

if you want to see if the master server is down you can go to start > programs > accessories > command prompt/MSDOS prompt and type in:

ping etmaster.idsoftware.com

for wolf i think its just master.idsoftware.com.

If it doesnt ping, its either your firewall, your ISP’s routing or the server itself is down. If you swap “ping” with “tracert” you get more info about the path to the server- basically if it times out, gets VERY high ping or a “destination net unreachable” at a “hop” server halfway there, its probably your ISP routing, if it gets nowhere its probably your firewall and if it makes it to every hop except the master then its probably the master server down :slight_smile: Either way All Seeing Eye (or pathfinder, gamespy, whatever) should be fine and personally I prefer it a lot anyway.

Heres another if you can’t find any

199.240.92.37:27998

go to play online … click “connect to ip” at bottom of screen and enter the above ip

or you can Start ET …pull down console with the ~ key …and type

/connect 199.240.92.37:27998

Heh. Had this name since a few months after X-Wing VS TIE Fighter was released, so I doubt I am the name thief. :cool:

EDIT: That means since 1997 just in case you didn’t know when XVT was released.

Yep, master server is still down, and when ppl try to host it says they need a punkbuster patch – hope someone gets the master back up soon.

Heh, I’ve been using Damocles since I first went online on my trusty old 9600 baud modem. Those were the days :slight_smile: Ahh, Compuserve, how I don’t miss thee.

FAKE EDIT: That was probably around 95 ish.

Not all hosts will actually respond to ICMP ping requests. A nice way to query the master server is to use Qstat (from http://www.qstat.org)

qstat -rwm,71 etmaster.idsoftware.com:27950 -u -sort pn -progress

Its funny, yes I have noticed that i’m getting no servers, but up top at the message of the day it says ET test Version 2.32. What does this mean?


(Danyboy) #12

its just the default messag e- most probably in built into ET

hopefully it would be good to get a MOTD from idsoftware just to make sure the master list is up

then if there’s no MOTD you know the master list is down - and hence stop posts accross the Internet “Is the master list down?”

hehe :smiley:
