servers not appearing

[AV1611]

This isn't just with Nexuiz, it's with every game I try to play online. So far, it's happened with Nexuiz, Warsow, and Call of Duty.

Whenever I try to join a game, the list is empty. After I click refresh, still empty. I've even put my firewall in "allow all" mode and still no luck.

Does anyone have an answer of what to do?

Are you behind a router?

[AV1611]

Yes, but I don't think that has anything to do with it. I don't think my router even has a firewall.

Before my computer crashed about a week ago, it worked great. I now have everything restored but that is the only problem that remains.

[divVerent]

can you connect to servers directly? Try: "connect 141.2.16.23" on the console

Have you tried a clean reinstall?

Also check for spywares, trojans, etc. They hijack apps sometimes. :S

Same problem i had before, even when i allowed on my firewall...i turned my firewall off everytme i wanted to play a game and then everything was fine....maybe not the best solution but it worked for me anyhow so it might be worth just trying it out.

[Oblivion]

Maybe you've inadvertently set firewall settings to block Nexuiz. Try looking at the list of allowed and disallowed sites.

Is your firewall Comodo?

Well it works now, for some reason. I don't even know what I did. Thanks for the help guys.

Im also not getting a server list. But Im not sure how to solve this:

The Nexuiz client sends packets on TCP 27950. The servers send their response to my clients source port, which is something >60000. My router does not understand that these packets are the response the client is waiting for and drops them.
I tried to create some trigger-based rule to allow these packets:

trigger: 26000-27950 TCP/UDP
public ports: 26000-27950, 60000-65000 both TCP/UDP
public trigger: TCP/UDP

That doesnt work. Besides that, I really dont feel comfortable with that many open ports.

Is there maybe some way the client could signal on which port it expects the server's response? If it would be symmetric (27950/27950) I probably wouldnt run into these problems.

The Nexuiz client sends packets on TCP 27950.

it's UDP (Nexuiz doesn't use TCP) and to 27950, not on (since the master servers listen on that port)

Is there maybe some way the client could signal on which port it expects the server's response? If it would be symmetric (27950/27950) I probably wouldnt run into these problems.

The reponse is expected to be send to the same port from which the request originated, that port is automatically assigned by the OS to avoid conflicts. That way the router should understand that it's a response, without any port forwarding.
