If you ever encountered a problem where server in Favorites, History or main window show 9999 ping, then you might be interested to know how to fix this. Here's what a thread on UTForums recommends:
1. Some of my Favorites or History servers show as "9999"
Issue: This was the original issue from several weeks ago, which turned out to be the result of a UT3 game server being restarted using a new GameSpy account (OwningPlayerId), which causes all players who have previously added that game server under the old GameSpy account number to no longer be able to see it.
Resolution: Players must remove and re-add UT3 game servers from their Favorites that show as "9999" to requery the updated account number.
2. Some servers still show as "9999" in Favorites, History, and the main Servers list
Issue: This was the continuing issue encountered by cRaZyLaDy*SIG* despite having reinstalled UT3 and removed and re-added the problematic UT3 game servers from her Favorites list, which results from the game client being unable to issue ICMP pings to some game servers when run on operating systems that require Administrator privileges to do so (i.e., Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Linux).
Resolution: UT3 must be run as Administrator.
