Server list stops downloading after about 20
« on: December 16, 2006, 02:51:39 am »
I just installed Soldat on my computer after playing it for countless hours at my mom's house. When I go to request servers, the button says "Downloading 281 Servers" (or however many it is), and about 20 show up in the list...and then it stops.

I can apply filters, re-request, and certain ones will show up in the list but never more than 50 or so.

  • No filters are set.
  • I have port forwarding set on 23073, 23083, and 13083, just in case. All outgoing connections are allowed.
  • I have tried putting my computer as the DMZ server, but that didn't do anything.


This is extremely confusing--I had no problems like this at all on my mom's computer. I'm very computer savvy, so help of any kind is greatly appreciated!

Try first when it doesn't work and you can tell click cancel and try again. Happens to me also and if I do that then try it it usually fixes itself.

I have the exact same problem, never found a fix. I resorted to using All-Seeing Eye and the HTTP lobby.

I'll probably be giving this a try. Thanks for the tip!

this is the most frustrating and common bug imho, it happens to me all the time, so I just set the filters so something so specific that it'll come up in the first x servers in the list.

Its not that bug, filters dont help. It started happening the exact day I changed ISP's afew weeks ago, so I pretty much blame them for it. Bastards are probably doing that drop-1-byte-packets thing.
