Unreal Tournument GOTY Not Connecting to any servers
« on: October 01, 2025, 02:29:05 PM »

Hi, I have recently installed Unreal Tornument 99, specifically the Game of the year edition, version 436. Ive noticed, that I cannot connect to any servers on the unreal tornument website, even the ones that say they are compatable with version 436. I think this website does have an unreal server, but I kept getting kicked for some reason after entering the lobby.

Im not sure what I am doing wrong, but id appreciate it if I could get any help on the matter.

Servers from which website? I'm going to do a writeup on how to add modern server support to Unreal Tournament, but it will be more or less a copy and paste from here:

https://333networks.com/instructions/ut

Follow it and the server browser will work from within UT again :)

btw, make sure to connect to games.macos9lives.com using Unreal Tournament to play on our server ;)

I see, much appreciated on getting the server page to work, however, i did try the server you provided a couple times, I loaded into the lobby but I got the "connection failed", maybe its because I directly connected to the server, which is what i did to connect to many other servers, theyd load but fail, consistently when it was done loading.

I am going to try setting up the configuration file as the website says to, and ill come report my results.

Thank you

So, I did what the website said to do with the configuration file. However, it is still not working, even the games.macos9lives.com link. The lobby loads but the connection fails(presumably when I join a match), I can hover as a spectator in the chosen map, but I dont see any other players, the map is empty, then the connection fails after 30 ish seconds.

I see the server population, and it shows theres about 800 servers, but the server list screen is blank, and it never finishes loading past the 810 mark.

It appears I have a networking issue, but I cannot tell where, since I am directly plugged into my fiber optic modem through gigabit ethernet, and I am on this website regularly with this machine.

The only two things between this computer and the modem is a poe adapter(to power the modem) and an 8 port gigabit ethernet switch(which has a desktop running windows vista sitting idle, and a 10 year old budget linksys router)

Not sure what it could be, but im open to suggestions.
