Title: Problems finding the server?
Post by: GhostMjr on March 05, 2010, 07:45:38 AM
Its as simply as 1,2,3.

Go into battlefield and log in.

Click server browser from the main menu on the toolbar.

On the right and side of the next screen click in the search box remove all crosses and search for "Deadmen".

Simply click search and you will get the server up.

I suggest you add it to your favourites.

I just opened the browser, clicked on "Servername" to alphabetise them and dragged it down to the "D's".

Remember there are no wing's or tags, it starts with 'D'.

The search does not find it for me.  It also did not have a ping beside it I assume that is why.  Most of the servers dont.  Known steam problem.  Also cant add to favourites.

I had the same problem yesterday on the non-Steam version, just keep trying.

At 10:20am the server was almost full.

Hi Ninja_Freak.

Apart from the first night I joined the server and the day after.....

Ever since then when I go to "Favourites" the server is always greyed out and does not allow me to enter it.

Any ideas mate?

Hi Naldo,
 
Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it for you and circle back.
 
I would try removing it from your fav's and then searching for deadmen.co.uk and add it again. I was on it last night and didn't have any problems but I think Albert had the same issue.
 
The IP hasn't changed that's for sure..

Does it show up in history?
I could only find the server in history at one point (apart from searching for it)

Image shows it in my favourites grayed out... also the deadman server is not listed in the master server list for me.

can you scroll down further? deadmen.co.uk should be lower than deadhooker.co.uk.. (sorry to be rude)..

I've just restarted the server.. Let me know if that helps.

Also remember...

If in the server options you have an X in the empty box and the server is empty.. Then it will show gray in the list.

If you remove the X and hit refresh/find again the server will come back.
