For some reason the servers don't show up in the server browser anymore. It's been almost a month since they have. Any idea why? I did the master server web update in the community edition after i started having problems and still nothing. The only servers i can see are on the favorites page.

Yeah I gave up trying to use in game browser.

I use the web-based list to check number of players, and connect to servers with my own shortcuts (just ...\u2xmp.exe [server ip])

Would be much nicer if the in game browser gets fixed though. "Help me EQ, you are our only hope."

teh Intarweb, duh
You could always modify the .INI files for u2xmp to default to the Play Online\Favorites tab, then also edit your list of favorites directly in the same .INI files. Would be cool if UGameTray could do that automagically.

I had to take the master server right out of the ini. If it doesn't see it it locks up my whole computer and i have to hit the reset button :(. When its not there it runs fine :/

Yeah there's definitely something awry with port 27900 on ms.aybab2u.com. I thought there was a [prob undocumented] .ini setting to make XMP default to the Favs tab when you click "Play Online". That way it wouldn't matter if you still had the faulty master server configured, as long as you don't click on the "Online" tab.

Mmm, Bleeder, where can I get UGameTray? Does it work? Or does it have same problem as in-game browser? I never got a chance to try it :(

Launch the game then play online and f5 or reping and your list of servers appears. Click on a server to see whether there are players because the line player remains to 0 due to master server down. If a new server appears in the list of ms.ayabab2u.com it is necessary to add this server in your list of server.

Thanks Dusty.

The link to UGameTray doesn't work :(

Any idea why the web-based master is working but the in-game browser is not? Apparently the game servers have to upload to master server for the webpage to show anything, so that part must be working?

We want it to work because many people who try XMP just think the game is broken or not work with their PC, as soon as they click "play online" and get a crash. And not everyone is patient enough to find out how to make it work (like Captain Tea is doing). I think it's a major obstacle to getting more players :(

for crash replace these lines in u2xmp.ini:

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
CurrentMasterServer=0
;MasterServerPort[0]=1337
;MasterServerAddress[0]=shtns.ath.cx
;MasterServerPort[1]=1337
;MasterServerAddress[1]=sh.zapto.org
MasterServerPort[0]=27900
MasterServerAddress[0]=ms.aybab2u.com

[IpDrv.MasterServerUplink]
DoUplink=True
CurrentMasterServer=0
;MasterServerPort[0]=1337
;MasterServerAddress[0]=shtns.ath.cx
;MasterServerPort[1]=1337
;MasterServerAddress[1]=sh.zapto.org
MasterServerPort[0]=27900
MasterServerAddress[0]=ms.aybab2u.com
UplinkToGamespy=False
SendStats=False
ServerBehindNAT=True

and these lines in myu2xmp.ini

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
CurrentMasterServer=1
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
MasterServerPort[3]=0
MasterServerPort[4]=0
MasterServerAddress[3]=
MasterServerAddress[4]=
MasterServerPort[2]=0
MasterServerAddress[2]=
MasterServerPort[1]=0
MasterServerAddress[1]=
MasterServerAddress[0]=master.gamespy.com

it is important that the lines CurrentMasterServer in
[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]do not carry the same number.

Thanks Dusty everything is working for me now. I find that you only need the following lines:

In U2XMP.ini
Code:
[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=13777
LANServerPort=12777
CurrentMasterServer=0
MasterServerPort[0]=27900
MasterServerAddress[0]=ms.aybab2u.com
MasterServerPort[1]=0
MasterServerAddress[1]=
MasterServerPort[2]=0
MasterServerAddress[2]=
MasterServerPort[3]=0
MasterServerAddress[3]=
MasterServerPort[4]=0
MasterServerAddress[4]=

In MyU2XMP.ini
Code:
[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
CurrentMasterServer=1
MasterServerAddress[0]=master.gamespy.com

You get a message saying gamespy is not valid. Just click Ignore, and all the servers show up! If I don't put in that last line for gamespy, it crashes! So it stays and I will gladly click the Ignore button. Thank you very very very much :D

In game browser finally works! \o/
