How do I access the MIA server? New UT2004 installation on a new PC

[Right]

Is it working yet?

Is it working yet?

Well, I've followed the various tips. I've already copied all the UT2004 files from the PC that allow me to connect to the MIA server; but some unofficial servers don't appear in the game's Internet tab. I made this video to show what my tabs look like. And how, when I try to open the MIA server address, the game starts loading but stops. It could be that I need to connect closer to the modem, because it says the connection is lost. I played a little game to show you that the game works individually.

In this video, I demonstrate the problem. I had previously marked the MIA server address in my favorites.

In the news tab you should see the openspy news.
It is not shown in your recording,  UT is trying to reach the old server: 

In the game, open the console (~ key) and paste the following command and run it:
set IpDrv.MasterServerLink MasterServerList ((Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902))
and relaunch the game. This will update your game automatically.

This will be changed in the UT2004.ini

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)      <----- This is the new master server

You should see the servers in the internet tab

If not I think there is a rights issue. (you can not write in the unreal directory)

I've found a reason for some of these connection issues. I've updated the server and https://miasma.rocks/downloads/3369_u_files.zip.

Hopefully this should clear up a lot of the conection problems.

Thanks for the information. First, I added the ut2004.ini file with the commands indicated. This is what that file contains, and I only added the information you provided me:


[Core.System]
Suppress=DevLIPSinc

[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerPackages=OnslaughtBP
ServerPackages=AssaultBP

[Editor.EditorEngine]
EditPackages=OnslaughtBP

[Engine.LevelInfo]
MaxClientFrameRate=+90.0

This is what I added.

First version:
[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master1.epicgames.com",Port=28902)
MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)

the second version:

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)

It didn't work even though I clicked "update" in the program folder. The unofficial servers still don't appear.

Thanks for the info, Piglet. I downloaded the 3369_u_files file, opened it, and copied and pasted it into the ut2004 folder. I updated, but it didn't work. The program doesn't give me access to the unofficial servers. Otherwise, I'll continue playing on my old PC. I don't know if it's a problem with Windows 11. I have another PC with Windows 10 where I could install the game and try it out.

Just to be sure:

If you go to Ut2004\system directory
Open UT2004.ini

Under [IpDrv.MasterServerLink] (There can only be 3 lines)
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)

Like I mentioned: In the news tab should be de openspy news


It might be useful if you join Discord:

[Grim_Fandango]

Under [IpDrv.MasterServerLink] (There can only be 3 lines)

I have the above as well as:
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.333networks.com",Port=28902)

Like I mentioned: In the news tab should be de openspy news

My news tab changes between the Openspy text and the following:

"Welcome to the 333networks UT2004 MasterServer! Please visit our discord for more information: http://333networks.com/discord

Not sure if there's any benefit to having the 2 x addresses, but I can't say I've noticed any issues with either.

[Piglet]

You can have as many as you like. It picks one at random to use:

MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.333networks.com",Port=28902)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.errorist.eu",Port=28902)

Servers can choose to report to as many as they like (with the right serveractor)

[Right]

If you watch the recording you will see when he shows the news tab that is not openspy or 333

Thanks for the info. I'll try the other two rows.

Yes, I'll try connecting to other servers to play UT2004, one for one. Thanks.
