It's been quite a while since oldunreal had an overhaul, but we are moving to another server which require some updates and changes. The biggest change is the migration of our old reliable YaBB forum to phpBB. This system expects you to login with your username and old password known from YaBB.

dedicated server with playit.gg

Post by nixit »

hello all,

I am setting up a dedicated UT2k4 server on one of my spare linux servers. installed ut2k4 from this site, set up an account on playit.gg, so I wouldn't have to expose my real IP, and got everything forwarded in playit.gg..

in my UT2004.ini file, I have DoUpLink=True, and the correct masterserverlist in the IpDrv.MasterServerLink section.

the server starts, I can connect to it from my lan, but it's not showing up in the server browser. I tested from within the network and outside of the network.

has anyone tried to run a dedicated ut2004 server with playit.gg?

I can provide whatever other info is needed to help troubleshoot this.

thanx.
