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.

I fixed it, I had a bad install, thank you for the help

[Knezzen]

Great that you got it going! I haven't visited the forum again until now. I would have recommended you do to a full reinstall since something seems a bit off about your install.

Glad it's fixed. See you on the server

[PrepperGeek]

Well, it did work, until it didnt. Now it just hangs at the connecting screen, the one where it says "connecting to game.(server)/index.php", I cant even connect to the macos9lives server directly. I installed gamesprocket 1.7.5, and that seems to be the point where it stopped working. At least it loads the server list, but what good is that when i cant even play on any of them.

[PrepperGeek]

I have pictures attatched as to where the game appears to be hanging

[Windoze]

There is an extra comma between macos9lives and .com. Is that a typo on your side?

[PrepperGeek]

even without the typo, its still the same, ill send another pic in case something pops up in the log

So you need to go to Open Location and put in games.macos9lives.com and nothing else like special chars or http or / etc. Just the domain.

I tried to connect to the server just now on two different Mac OS 9 machines here in my house and the server works fine. Just out of curiosity if there was something wrong with it when connecting externally I asked a friend to connect and he can connect and play just fine as well.

So there seems to be something odd with your install. Do you have a working internet connection on the machine? Have you set up your "player" as well as internet connection speed from within UT?
