It looks like there was something else wrong with the server, we hope that we've fixed it. Could you let me know?

Problem appears to be gametype specific...

...when I checked Deathmatch & CTF there were a ton of responses, but DOM & LMS only had 1 apiece.

Further, the only one that yielded no results (that i checked, got a lot of tabs) at all was for MonsterHunt... and my local internet security popped up when I clicked the MH tab.

That is your firewall telling you what networks you are allowing UT to operate over.
It is up to you to decide if you want UT to work over both LAN and Internet.

Some game mods specify the masterserver they use.
If it is in the config for the game type it can be edited.
When this is hard-coded and no updates are available/possible the only option is to make a HOSTS entry pointing the gamespy domain to an IP address with a working masterserver.

Shoot004 is showing plain ignorance.
GAMESPY is dead for years, geniuses ! I want to see when you'll wake up and use proper settings... this way you won't reach anywhere.
You don't have to believe me, just browse that trash address in a browser, see what you get...

I did not see these days any single issue because I'm using by default 333Networks and other community MasterServers.

Title "EPIC MasterServer is down"
Answer: WHO CARES and WHY ? I was talking about hosts file for months... and then these issues are User Issues not MasterServer issues :lol2: .

It's actually my landlord's firewall, but I take your meaning.

After looking over Internet I found some information. However something is not into the right timing.
Here
https://www.oldunreal.com/wiki/index.ph ... rver_Guide
are described:
ThatAddress wrote: For UnrealTournament players who want to use the master server:

[UBrowserAll]
ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=utmaster.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
ListFactories[1]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.333networks.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
ListFactories[2]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=ut
ListFactories[3]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.errorist.tk,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=ut

Please note that the numbers [0] to [1] in this example can be edited and extended if you add more or other master servers. Just make sure you start with [0] and count up from there.
For UnrealTournament server owners who want to list their Unreal servers on the master server:

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=utmaster.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.333networks.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.errorist.tk MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.qtracker.com MasterServerPort=27900

Also you have to ensure that you have to set

[UBrowserAll]
bFallbackFactories=False

and

[UBrowser.UBrowserMainClientWindow]
bKeepMasterServer=True
Server is updating at 5 MasterServers but client is browsing 4 MasterServers ? Do I miss something ? QTracker is not for UT players only for servers ? If player is not browsing that address why do am I supposed to "heartbeat" server over there ?
And then Master.Errorist.Tk goes to Master.Errorist.Eu according to
www.errorist.eu wrote: 2020-01-30 : Domain name change!
The Errorist Network is undergoing a change in the domain name. Starting from 14 February 2020, the domain
'errorist.tk' will no longer exist. All services have been transfered to 'errorist.eu', effective immediatly.
Please update your links and configured master server settings in your favorite games!
I recommend exchanging places and putting Epic in the last place, not a single time that Master was down, it only lags your browsing...

The Epic masterservers are now functioning again so the full set of results is now available.
http://333networks.com/g/all
Don't forget to add more backup masterservers to your config so you always have servers to play on.


Qtracker and Telefragged (GameRanger) both accept uplinks for use in their desktop clients. Neither of them offer regular downlinks.
Unless people include them, those communities see only results from users of the client software.

Thank you for kindly pointing out that the wiki is outdated. I will see if I can get someone on to it drekly.
