When you take IPs from the play4dead serverlist, you need to subtract 1 from the port, i.e.:

ArmoryChamber.net #1 188.40.104.240:27021

would be

connect 188.40.104.240:27020

Xarius

How do I manually connect to a server ip that I got from play4dead.com?

Do I open console and use connect 74.122.197.230:27015 (subtracting 1 from the port number as suggested)

Or something similar cause that does not work.

Xarius

I can't seem to connect using ip either

Try using <a href="http://www.play4dead.com/ns2/" target="_blank">http://www.play4dead.com/ns2/</a>

That doesnt work which is why I am trying to copy paste the ip or something within the game. If I click on any of those servers from play4dead I get the steam window come up and say server not responding.

How do you manually connect to an ip within the game?

Xarius

Connect IP:port in console

But it doesn't work either

nothing you can do against that, the server who is supposed to fetch all the dedicated server ip´s is kinda broken,
if i am not mistaken this server is a service provided by steamworks.

play4dead.com reports a database failure aswell

The server list should appear within a few minutes of waiting.

At least mine did.

countbasie

Nothing showing up for me.

Connect IP:Port

Connect IP: Port-1

Don't work as well. (Couldn't establish connection)

taking off the numbers after the colon does it for me. ie. 188.40.104.240

Xarius

It's working again here, tabbing out and in again fixed it this time. (unlike earlier today)

DJPenguin

bump, as it seems it's down for a lot of people again.

Hilarious.

Also, the blank server list appears to be spreading its infestation to Canada as well ;P

jpfite

Same thing here.

It is happening for me again..... Here are the facts from me (shamelessly crossposted from another topic):

* It started around build 201.
* It happens with the vanilla launcher and the experimental menumod.
* The servers take 10-30 seconds to appear, then after trying to join a server (usually it's full....) the list never appears again - even if I let it sit there for an hour.
* Restarting the game does not help....
* Creating a listenserver and then trying the server browser does not work...
* Using the <a href="http://www.play4dead.com/ns2/#" target="_blank">http://www.play4dead.com/ns2/#</a> website and clicking "Join Server" only produces a steam window with server info and the text "Server not respnding".
* Using the abovementioned website and noting the ip:port and trying to connect via console does not work either.... The error message is "disconnected from server - Couldn't establish a connection with the server".
* For good measure I tried a cold reboot of my computer, router and cable modem. No effect... :(
* Another update: Yes, of course I tried the tips from the troubleshooting post (checked firewall and port forwarding, ....) although it seems quite pointless since it worked flawlessly before....

It's frustrating.

Gyver

Same problem here. :(

Gosh darn it all, whenever I get a chunk of time to play NS2, the servers are invariably down. *sigh*

I just recently got the black server list as well, but however I figured out a temporary work around.

Starting at the server list screen (If its black)
1. go back to main menu
2. go to options
3. go back to main menu
4. go click on join (either it will be black again or showing list)
5. repeat until server lists shows up.

That is how I was able to see the server lists.
