[SOLVED] Some servers are hidden

Neatsp · Mar 14, 2019

Just today I noticed a few of the servers in MB2 are hidden. I've tried refreshing, uninstalled and reinstalled. I did a repair installation and this is the log I got:

What servers are exactly missing? And have you tried to View Empty Servers?

Vapour · Mar 15, 2019

Theres nothing there that says servers are hidden, the hidden servers are probably like MB2's test beta servers on which don't need to be made public.

*Beta Test you mong.

Oh well.

I could of meant Testing/ beta servers two different things.

Sorry for late response.

I have all filters on yes. The notable servers missing are Legacy, some TIN servers and probably more that I don't know right now.

It's probably a long shot, but you might want to try renaming/deleting your servercache.dat (in GameData). If that doesn't help, then it could well be an issue due to a combination of your ISP or those server's hosting. Displaying servers on the serverlist is a two-step process:

The game sends a request for a list of servers to the masterserver. If the masterserver is available, it will send back a list.
The game sends a getstatus request to each server in the list provided by the masterserver, and should get a response back with all of the server's details.

If the getstatus request is blocked (sending or receiving at either client or server) then you won't see the server in the list. Why are some blocked and not others? Could be blocking related to previous (D)DoS attacks from IP addresses similar to yours, or maybe your ISP is blocking the servers' IPs entirely (for whatever reason). Unclear from your posts whether you can connect to any of them manually.

I deleted servercache.dat and it didn't work. These are the top servers I can't see:

[Legacy] Lyceum
[Cult:Arena]
{BG}Server[OPEN]
TIN | Duel

but I can see:

[RUS]Force-Zone.ru
[tR]Deathstar
EW !SPIN ROTATION
Great Sith Empire| Official
EW={GLOWSTICK NATION
TIN | Open

Idk what to do with this. Do I just ignore it and play on the servers I can see?

Again, it's still unclear to me whether you can connect manually (using the console). Have you tried at all? If you can connect manually and play, that at least excludes your IP being blocked completely. It's still possible getstatus from your IP to their servers is blocked for some reason.

PMed him and fixed it.

He was being blocked by the JKA.io firewall because of a bad port forwarding rule he'd set up, which made him send all his JKA traffic from port 1 accidentally. Humans never send traffic from port 1 - they most commonly use port 29070 - but some DDoS attacks do. He was having issues only with our servers because other JKA server hosts don't apply real (read: effective for JKA) DDoS filtering. Working as intended on our end, in other words, but showed him how to fix the bad port forwarding on his end.

I have the same problem, exactly the same I think, I see the same servers, how you solved it?

Sandok · Nov 6, 2019

I still having the same problem with the same servers I can't see some TIN servers and some others. When I start playing I can see almost 1 or 2 servers with some people in Open mode the rest are empty just like servers in other modes (Duel for example) i've tried all with filters and I'm having this problem since July/Aug or something like that. I want to play but i can't like this, some help please?

it might be easier to just check the server list online and copy and paste the ip into console:

/connect "server IP address"
