Server Browser?

Is anyone else having a big problem with the in game server browser. Mine more often than not fails to find any games. I have turned win firewall off an still nothing. The lights on nmy cable modem just don't blink while the browser is searching. I'm at a loss.

I used to be able to just exit the game and try again...but now nothing. It takes at least 3 minutes for the browser to finish searching and say my filters don't match...any suggestions?

Re: Server Browser?

I too am experiencing this as well, as a matter of fact it just started today. I took me about 25 minutes to join a server today. Very puzzling...no offical help on the forums though, but there are a few posts about it. Looks like its back ta drinkin' fer me then.....

Re: Server Browser?

I have it sorted out,

I had to manually allow the outgoing permission within firewall.

Re: Server Browser?

I cant connect to any servers or it takes forever - pretty lame set-up. Definite game killer until the TG server gets listed and there are actually good rounds worth playing.

Re: Server Browser?

I don't even have a firewall (I know, I should get one) and it does that sometimes. Usually when I leave a server and look for another. Then I have to restart the game.

Re: Server Browser?

My issue has freakishly resolved itself..on its own. I told my wife that my CPU has a mind of its own...

Re: Server Browser?

I have the same random problem. I could not get on last night and had to go singleplayer for a while. I have no idea what is causing that. My firewall is adjusted for the game.

Re: Server Browser?

I think the server browser is just rubbish anyway regardless of the problems you are experiencing at the minute. The sooner they fix it with a patch the better imo.

I'm getting really, really, really pissed off with this server browser.

Re: Server Browser?

Oh yeah, I couldn't play this morning. No matter how many times I refreshed or restarted the game. I'd click on a server and click "launch" and it just sat there, no matter what server, it wouldn't launch any of them.

It's so hit or miss. I can't even play this game and I refuse to have to keep rebooting my comp. I may just sell my copy. What a waste. Where's the update? How can you even release a game with that weak of a browser?

I had just started my computer. The first thing I did was start the game up, lol.

Jusb,

There's got to be something conflicting within your system or drivers. I played for almost 5 hours last night without a hiccup?
