It appears that the beacon server (master.oldunreal.com) is down. Anyone else having this issue?
Moderator edit by Hyper: Thread subject changed, the poroblem is not limited to the OldUnreal master server. Gamespy master servers are also down.

Same here, it's not just oldunreal.com, i think the main unreal masterserver thingie is somehow disturbed, at least that's what i think is going on.

Yes, nothing is loading for me; not even on those ones Hyper and some other people host.

Thank you Great Emerald! That explains it! However, when I go to the link that shows the status, they claim everything is fine. Has GameSpy finally killed off Unreal?

In your Unreal.ini:
[UBrowserAll]
ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=hyper.dnsalias.net,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
ListFactories[1]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.hlkclan.net,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
ListFactories[2]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
ListFactories[3]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
ListFactories[4]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.thenerdnetwork.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
ListFactories[5]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
ListFactories[6]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.qtracker.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
Add that in if you want under the [UBrowserAll] area. I did and I can see 25 servers under All Servers and under each category (Coop, DM) I can see whichever of those 25 fall under the category. A suitable method until they fix it. You can only see servers that have certain masteraddresses in their ServerActors if I am correct. So, yeah. Its limited for now but better than nothing.
Also, server owners / providers must restart their servers according to the link Emerald posted. So, until they do that, their server will probably not show up.
I also suggest using QTracker to see servers.
Thank you Great Emerald! That explains it! However, when I go to the link that shows the status, they claim everything is fine. Has GameSpy finally killed off Unreal?
No, they haven't left us. If they say they're doing maintenance or whatever then its just that. They do this plenty of times and everyone panics (no offense), but it comes back up within a few days at the most.

TO SERVER OWNERS
If you don't already have the following in your Unreal.ini in the ServerActors part for your server, I suggest you add it so people using what I pasted above can see your server if it isn't favorited:
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=hyper.dnsalias.net MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.hlkclan.net MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.thenerdnetwork.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com MasterServerPort=27900
Add in whichever ones you don't have from that list.

Are you sure you put the stuff from my first post in this topic in the correct place? I added a little more detail to it because I wasn't exactly clear as to how it goes in, where, etc.
Or are you referring to the second post I made for a server you own?

Maybe people just didn't restart their servers.

I was wondering if it was just me, but I can't connect to any multiplayer server. Why isn't this thing decentralized? Why do we have to depend on a single master server to list all the other servers?

It's not.. Master lists just make joining easier, as long as you know someone's IP address and their open port, you can always connect directly using the console command "open :" or "open unreal://:".
If you can't join games that way then you have a security program, or firewall rooted in your system or modem\router firewall that's preventing you from making a outgoing connection to a server, or their server is blocking you in the same manner.

Of all the alternative community master servers only Hyper's works for me. The others fail with a 10038 socket error on my client. I think that is a warning sign if we cannot depend on multiple backups to be functioning.
