If you are currently using any mutator or server actor to report to multiple master servers, remove them. They are unlikely to work any longer due to changes in class <code>MasterServerUplink</code>, and should not be necessary. You should, however, make the following changes to your server configuration file (e.g., UT2004.ini):}}

# In <code>[Engine.GameEngine]</code> section, replace <code>ServerActors=IpDrv.MasterServerUplink</code> with <code>ServerActors=IpDrv.MasterServerLauncher</code>
# In <code>[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]</code> section, you must have at least one entry in the MasterServerList, whether or not you want to be actively listed ([IpDrv.MasterServerUplink]->DoUplink=True/False). Populate the list with each master server you may wish to report to. Examples:

* <code>MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)</code>
* <code>MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.333networks.com",Port=28902)</code>
* <code>MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.errorist.eu",Port=28902)</code>
* <code>MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.gonespy.com",Port=28902)</code>
