I had UT2004 installed and everything worked well.
But since I installed some mods the master server doesnt respond anymore!
Even reinstalling did not fix this!
So wtf should I ínstall a new windows or what?

Reinstalling only fixes overwritten data files, it doesn't restore INIs. Try deleting UT2004.ini and User.ini from your UT2004\System directory. Make backups if you want to copy over key binds or graphics settings.

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but could Atari be intentionally neglecting the master server in order to get holdouts to switch to UT3?

Gotcha. Well, is there any chance Epic could be knowingly neglecting the UT2004 master server in a bid to get people to upgrade to UT3?

No. There is none. They're just having technical difficulties, since a Master Server is just like a normal server, you can expect downtime.

I assumed they'd finally killed it.
Good to hear it may come back up.
I only have 6 working favourites :s
Been a while since I played anywhere but the Fragbu server.

Due back up on Tuesday-ish apparently.
Great to hear they have no plans to shut it down.

For all our bitching about Epic over the years we really are/were very lucky/spoiled with the support for 2k4.
