Master Severs down?

[Hyzoran]

I can't connect to multiplayer, it says timeout while connecting.
Log says Error while checking socket status.

[Matrix224]

No, they're fine. It was probably just some dumb error on your end. Its happened before, nothing to worry about.

[mentalhunter]

yea, specially for me, theres this curse in my room that wont allow me a whole day of good internet connection.

I was thinking the same as OP, but then I am new to the whole "online server" thing...

Try to reset your master server settings in your Unreal.ini and then add these lines:

Code: Select all

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.hypercoop.tk MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.hlkclan.net MasterServerPort=27900

and

Code: Select all

[UBrowserAll]
ListFactories[X]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
ListFactories[X]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.hypercoop.tk,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
ListFactories[X]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.hlkclan.net,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal 

Of course replace X with the unused numbers, so if you already have 0 and 1, replace them with 2, 3 and 4, respectively.

I will update the *.ini. I've done thie before though and it didn't work. I checked my firewall, but it wasn't that. I was wondering if it was a port issue... On the advanced settings there are two ports listed, 7777 and 7778. I was wondering if these should match? I'm pretty new to all this. I don't normally play online games, mainly because I haven't had a net connection until now! People keep telling me I should just get steam or something, which I did, but I want to play Unreal... It has a certain charm about it.

[Vulpine-Vixen]

Hm, edited the *.ini and still no joy... I also read something somewhere else about using the advanced options, networking, to true rather than false.

Firewalls shouldn't make any issues as long as you don't want to have a server. Though if you have Windows, you should allow Unreal.exe in its firewall, and I also remember opening ports 7777, 7778 and 27900 (or was it 29700?) but I think it should work even without that. So what you could try is to revert your ini (overwrite Unreal.ini with Default.ini), open the ports I listed (can't hurt just to be sure) and post the log if it fails again.

DoUplink=true ?

DoUplink=true ?

Derp! That's for servers, doesn't make a difference for clients.
