So anybody got some background on what's going on? Enquiring minds want to know.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
It's probably from that stupid exploit. It seems that Epic is working hard on finding a way around it.

Yeah, some brainiac released some ways to drop Unreal Engine servers publically instead of telling Epic first.
At the minimum, it affects most UE2 and UE3 games.

Unrelated. GS moved our master server location and it's looking like slow DNS propagation (still a theory). When people with the issue start sending in their ips, we'll hopefully have more info.
I get random numbers of servers, but usually 3 the first time I do a search. This is for WARfare. Afet 3-4 refreshes I sometimes get ~70 servers. But, not all the ones that are there appear. The ones I am interested are the populated ones, UMG specifically, and it appears only when I get ~70 in the list and then only about ~50% of the time . This is very odd, random numbers, but 3 servers always show up every 4-5 refreshes.
Maybe GameSpy is trying to kill UT3 for PC?

Hi, that's not accurate. The issues with servers not returning in the browser is unrelated to the hacks released last weekend.
Whatever it is, I hope it's resolved today. The online community cannot afford to lose any more players. I would like to play more peeps on more servers.
Tip: Don't ever use Gamespy again.
Tip: Give the UT franchise the same treatment as the GoW franchise and make it for PC-Only. Play to the strengths of each platform. GoW for consoles, UT for PC.

I didn't say anything about hacks. Servers are indeed not returning like they should in 2k4 and in UT3, whatever the cause may be.
My mistake. When you mentioned this:
I took that as you saying that the hacks released this weekend (which CAN effect UT2004, other UE games) were related to no servers being returned in the UT3 browser. Since UT2004 doesn't use GS, the zero servers returned issue being experienced by some folks on UT3 isn't replicated to UT2004.
I'll take that, but something weird is definitely going on, and it's not just me.
I'm seeing in general a lot fewer, but wildly fluctuating numbers of servers almost every time I refresh. It doesn't seem to be affecting everyone, because I can still find populated servers If I refresh enough times, and the people on the server don't seem to notice that anything's up. Perhaps its an issue with certain ISPs.

Hi, that's definitely happening and we're seeing the same issue here on UT3 (though not the zero servers issue). We're hoping they're related and if that one goes away the zero servers problem will as well.
Hi guys. GameSpy BELIEVES they've addressed the issue. Our local repro case sporadic server returns on refresh is fixed, but since we can't duplicate the zero servers issues let us know if you're still seeing it.
GS mentioned it could take 90 minutes for all folks to see the changes, so if by 8pm Eastern you're still seeing zero servers returned drop me a PM.
Thanks!
