It could have something to do with the fact that you're using OpenGL, which is unsupported in SRB2. Try using Software mode instead.

I highly doubt that's the problem...

 

[asdqwe]

It doesnt work in Software mode also.

Those will be people who are hosting but don't have their ports forwarded correctly. The games aren't joinable.

 

[asdqwe]

So your saying no one has advertised a game for more than 4 weeks?

OpenGL doesn't make any difference, it's only unsupported because you need a pretty decent GPU to run it (and it's buggy)

...It's only unsupported because it's so buggy, SSNTails' choice.
Btw, the renderer (Software, OpenGL) doesn't make _any_ different to netgames. Heck, they're not even related to netgames.

Wow I have the same issue. Lets figure this out now!
Do you have a router?

 

[Vash]

If this is happening, it's because no one is hosting their netgames on the Master Server.

 

[asdqwe]

Well a friend mailed me when he was playing and there where still no servers.

 

[Vash]

You are going to have to use the "Connect" command in the console if you want to connect to a server if there are no servers showing in the Join Server (Search) screen.

 

[asdqwe]

I tryed that and it loads minimum 15 minutes and still doesn`t connect

That has absolutely nothing to do with it.

OpenGL's unsupported message is useless and should be disregarded for anyone with a computer newer than Windows 95.

If this is happening, it's because no one is hosting their netgames on the Master Server.

They were shown by listserv, so clearly, they are. If they don't show up on the Master Server list, then there's a 90% chance that they can't be joined.


I'm guessing one of two options: either you aren't using the correct version of srb2 (or perhaps a modified version such as srb2JTE), or something is wrong with your internet connection. If you don't have a router, that may be the problem, but I'm an amateur at this stuff anyway, so I wouldn't really know.

I have heard that only occurs with Vertical Synchronization (VSync) being turned on.

Fix the routers settings,used software mode,reinstalled the game and i still dont see any servers

 

[Torgo]

You should check for firmware updates for your router. If that doesn't work set up a static IP using this page http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm.
