No Internet Games

When I booted up NS2 a few minutes ago I clicked join a server only to find a blank screen where no servers ever load. I was playing fine last night and my internet is up but absolutely zero games are appearing. What's going on?

EDIT: I tried out some other online games like Counter Strike and they refuse to load any servers also. I'm so confused because I obviously have an internet connection but no games seem to be working.

EDIT 2: I restarted steam and a message popped up that said my cloud data for NS2 conflicted with my local data. I told it to download files from the cloud hoping that would fix the problem but no luck.

    Myself and a friend just launched NS2 to test out Build 209 and our server browsers aren't loading anything either, so it's not just you.

    Ok well that makes me feel better at least. I checked again and the only games that aren't working for me online are the CS: GO beta and NS2. I hope whatever the problem is gets fixed soon :)

    Same problem here, server list is not populating.

    Seems to be slow to load the servers into the list, probably Steam related. I had to wait about 30seconds for them to show up. Could you have a look again at the ingame server list to see if it eventually will load the list?



    If it isn't working after 30s-1min you could use <a href="http://hypernovadesign.co.uk/nanogrid/" target="_blank">Insane's Nanogrid instead</a>

    Ok you are correct, I waited a few minutes and the list did finally populate. Not sure what Steam's problem is. I'm definitely keeping that website as a backup though in case the server list really crashes!
