NO RESPONSE FROM MASTER SERVER !

(SEKoner) #1

I play ET since it is released. Now i have a big problem (second time) !

-If i start ET and will load the server list, there is no respone
-If i want visit idsoftware.com, sekoner.com, strato.de … there is no respone :disgust:

It is DEFINETLY a problem based on ET source. There are many Threads with questions about this problemin in many forums, but no one has a answer. (Sorry, most forums i know are german)

Can anyone help me with it. The last time i must do a complete new install because of that problem ! A half year, evrerything was fine. Now, i have no desire to do it again .

PLEASE … can anyone help me. I want play it again :slight_smile:

Before I forget it … i do know ASE, but there will be other problems too with it ^^ (Some sites are not visitable any longer and sekoner.com, my own one, is also under it)

You should try ping the master server. If that doesn’t work, try use traceroute towards it, then you’ll find out where the problem starts.

The Problem begins on my system :smiley: , but …

In both cases the problem arose after a play with ET ! It concerns in addition plays from RTCW, not however Q3. And why there are so much people they have exactly the same problem ?

Spamming sucks :banana:

If you cannot reach the idsoftware web site, then likely your ISP is having some problems with routing currently, either with their own network, or somewhere else down the line. Go out, have a party, play something else, and come back in a day and see if the problem has resolved itself.

Unfortunately this is already the third day since beginning of the
problem. ive take my computer to a friend… He can play , i can not, I. The last times this happened is a half year and had the same effect. I made the new installation of the computer specified above only after 3 weeks. Afterwards it ran to stop to 07.Jan, problem-free.

But it´s great to see your response ! THX

This is not a map editing issue. Moved to general.

:moo:

If you read your second reference thread you’ll see that digibob is correct, it’s probably a routing problem. Most likely it’s your ISP, since more people would be having the same problem if it was located closer to id.

There is a chance that the problem is DNS related, but again you’ll see if that’s the case if you read my response in that other thread.

Let alone routing from the sounds of yourself theres probably not even an ISP/Connection setup since you reinstalled. :smiley: But like everyone else whos agreeing with djbob, aye, its deffo a problem with your connection rather than ‘ET’s source’ as you claim.

(SEKoner) #12

Yeah … i know … thats why i can play with my other system with the same connection ! Please, spares me with such sayings ! All players with this problem playing ET and RTCW, like i do too. The most players can play after a while. With some it is durable stop.

And which sides have in common like strato.de, sekoner.com, shooterzone.de with idsoftware.com and their master servers?

I don´t believe that this conecting failures are a ISP Problem !

Yeah … i know … thats why i can play with my other system with the same connection?

Fine, its not your connection but then that kinda proves its something up with that system if you can do everything else from another one? Sigh, think about it. Check ALL your network settings that may affect any performance between that PC/Mac whatever and your connection. Firewalls, Antivirus/Norton FW, Dodgy DNS even?

I’d trust not only some players, but one of the SD programmers who dealt with the source himself for no doubt months on end that there is nothing at all within the ET Source that will stop you from visiting websites. Esp, certain ones… All to me it sounds is that your Connection is Timeing Out quickly or if you have one, you’ve hit a Bandwidth limit and its slowly taking on more and more before it realises your doing so.

(Sauron|EFG) #14

Did you check if it’s a DNS problem?

If you wan’t any more help you need to provide some details, like system specs, how you connect to the Internet, and what’s different on the other computer. You could have saved us some time (and yourself some frustration) by providing this info in the first place.

And please no attitude, we’re only trying to help.

Yes, I tested the DNS, no success. In addition I said that the error through et develop, do not et an error have. It is also in the meantime all the same to me. From now on simply a Backup of my again-installed Windows XP will make and will be able to time then re-establish the next faster. I work in the Netwerk - Buisness and already vile errors seen in Windows occur could, but this is really mysterioes! If I knew for example where itself the calls of the servers with ASE and ET differentiate, I would have already a beginning with which I which begin could! Because in this difference the answer of the error lies exactly! Both probably call the data up on the master server!
