Title: Gamespy: no games showing
Post by: Letsplayforfun on September 17, 2008, 11:47:04 AM
When i enter the gamespy internet list, no games show (PW world included). I've no filters on. Only the games in my favorite list and a few in history list show up.

Any ideas on what's wrong?

Yes, it's the same for me, so it's probably not something wrong with our computers. They probably know about it, though, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

If you use GameSpy to connect to us and are having problems, try direct connecting to efu.us.to, and if you still have problems try direct connect to 208.43.245.42 temporarily.

Edit: Gamespy denies that this is the case on their site. Must be something else.

I've heard this also helps reduce lagg, so you may try this:
Start up NwN, click Multiplayer, log in, click "Join LAN Game", click on Direct Connect, type in 208.43.245.42:5121 for the address, there's no PW, and you're logged in. That's what they wanted people doing on Arelith, said it reduced lagg, maybe it'll also help here?

Well, it seems that most of the games have repopulated...but NOT Efu.

A friend was going to join for the first time the other night, but was unable to find the server...so that is 1 less player.  (shrugs)

Any idea why EFU is not showing up for some??  Just wondering thanks.

This is queer, isn't it? What I do is just randomly put people into my friends list, just so I can click on EfU easily and without sadness.

i still have this problem (and now NO servers show up, before I had EFUA in history/favs etc) and currently cannot connect to anything, even directly to 208.43.245.42, 208.43.245.42:5121, efu.to.us or efu.us.to, whatever.

i reinstalled, tried the whole port forwarding business, disabled firewalls, anti virus, etc... and i cannot log on. it is very sad. if anyone has any ideas (tried the lan thing too) do share.

apparently gamespy's been having a lot of problems with other games as well.

I still have this problem. I've looked at all of the bioware and gamespy suggestions on this, opened ports, tried port forwarding, messed with firewalls, even uninstalled anti-virus temporarily... Still the servers won't show. I wasn't, however, able to use the portforwarding suggestions (though my router firewall is off) because I cannot access the internet on a static ip address.

Does anyone have any brilliant ideas or suggestions to fix this problem that makes me sad and doesn't allow me to play?

I had this problem once and it turned out that my internet provider had to spesifically open the port necessary to log on to Gamespy and see games.
