Not many servers revisited.
« on: December 18, 2008, 09:35:46 PM »
Its weird. At school I get pretty much all of them and at home I only get the 4 orignal public servers. Whats up with this?? Is it that my internet at home just really sucks doggy poo?

Hit 'Clear' and then 'Update'.

firewall issue? does dp use a different port to get the list, or could it just be a dos/too many hits type thing? just some idears.

The server list is updated on port 80. Its a web call. If you can surf the land created by Al Gore, then you can dl the server list.

its not an firewall issue. About what you said KnacK, how would I get that setup?

If you can see the contents of this link, then you have other issues updating your server list.

I turned off Windows Firewall, but is there anything else I should accept to be unblocked by it to play paintball2?

you dont need to turn off windows firewall. what knack is saying is that any computer able to see this webpage and not able to download the server list doesnt have firewall issues. turn your firewall back on.

When you uninstalled the game, did you make sure that the install directory was removed?  If not, uninstall again and delete the folder where it was installed to make sure nothing is left.

not only that. I lost all servers on the list AND I did what you told me to do Knack and it didn't work
