My server list is empty! How can I connect to a server now?

Occasionally, it happens that the master server for SG is down, and your client can’t download an updated list of SG servers. In February 2012 the problem has become chronic, with the missing of the main master server. Read these threads in SG forum: Master Server, This is the end…, Serverlist of Monsterbrowser.

You can use SG console to connect:

  • open SG console
  • type “\connect [IP address]:[port]” (without quotes). Where [IP address] is the server address, and [port] is the server port. If no port is specified, the default port is used, that means 27960.

For example, to connect to Baller Bude you have to type: \connect 212.65.13.87:27960 or \connect 212.65.13.87.

Here are addresses and ports of most famous SG servers nowadays.

[Last update: 06 Mar 2012. Probably a more up to date table can be found here: http://forum.smokin-guns.org/viewtopic.php?p=22862#22862]

Since the end of February the official mater server is "master.smokinguns.fr". Add the following line to your q3config.cfg in order to get the ingame servers list:

seta sv_master1 "master.smokin-guns.org"

If it doesn’t work, try one of the following new master servers:
seta sv_master1 "parttimegeeks.net:27950"
seta sv_master1 "master.q3alive.net"

Warning: not all servers are reporting to these masters yet. If you have added servers to your Monster Browser manually, some of them might disappear when you reload the server list.
