<div class="IPBDescription">Steam -_-</div> EDIT - I have NS under the Steam menu -

...But there are no servers

Here are my system specs and whatnot (requested by poster below me)

-HP Pavilion 750n - 1.6ghz - Windows XP
-NVidia TNT2 32MB SDRAM, Integrated sound (unknown, but I'm not sure that would have a bearing on servers showing up -_-)
-OpenGL @ 1024x700~
-Not running EAX
-Half-Life Game of the Year edition
-Steam on NS v3.0 Beta 3

As for the problem, I had -just- gotten NS to register through steam. I booted it up, and there were no servers - except for three empty ones. This was at about 8:30~ CST, so I'm sure there were far more servers. If any help or feedback could be mustered, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks.

    OK, try this. Uninstall NS & Steam. The whole setup. Then:
    1) Re-install steam & Half-life.
    2) Then boot of half life and play through the training level.
    3) Try installing NS 3.0 beta 1, then update to beta 3.

    Check if you have any filters selected. Where are you playing from? South America, for example has about 6 servers. Try selecting your region in the filter list, instead of world. And click refresh, not quick refresh (this one's a bit obvious).

    I fiddled with the region selection, nothing going on there. And I'm not in the favorites tab.

    I assume you can play other Steam games, cs, tfc, etc?

    Any spam software running, I had problems with Secret Maker?

    Tried deleting clientregistry.blob in Steam Folder?

    Performed ping trace thu cmd to any servers?

    Running XP?

    Modem, DSL, Cable?

    I'm also having this problem. I just put Steam/NS on a new computer and when trying to get a list of servers for NS, I either get none or very few. The only change I can think of that would affect the server list is a bug I had seen before in America's Army. Gamespy server browser was disconnecting certain routers when you tried to get a list of servers, and unfortunately, my router is one of those types. When I put NS on this new computer, I also hooked up my router. Previously, the other computer was connected straight to modem.

    I doubt this is the problem, however, since I'm staying connected to the internet. Any ideas, please?

    System Stats:

    P4 2.8 GHz
    Not sure of the sound card
    GeForce FX Go5200, 64 MB
    Windows XP Home
    OpenGL 1024x768 Widescreen
    Not sure about EAX
    Using Steam
    NS Beta 3.3

    Retail client: None :-D I downloaded Steam and it let me install Half-Life without needing the CD. Probably because keys are stored in Steam accounts now.

    If possible have you tried connecting the puter directly, by-passing router?

    Nothing, and I'm running on cable with Win XP. Tried deleting the .blob file, doesn't change a thing. No spam software, and just what is cmd?

    By the way, I have no router to speak of - I'm running directly from the modem to the PC.

    Well, perhaps its just a coincidence, but when I took my comp off the router and went direct to modem, the entire list appeared. *sigh* I doubt its a coincidence though. Damn game developers and their hate of D-Link routers!
