Topic: Teeworlds server names is just numbers?!?

Hello, i were playing zombie arena today and then i left the game to join another game i couldn't login to any server at all. I turned off teeworlds and then i open teeworlds again, there were just numbers. I have been trying to reset filter, delete the game and download it again, change options in the options menu. I have been doing everything i can do to remove the numbers. Here is a picture of how it looks: http://img217.imageshack.us/i/skrmavbil … kl191.png/

Please help. I can't login to any server at all

Re: Teeworlds server names is just numbers?!?

This is because you can query the masterserver to retrieve the list of servers (IP numbers) but you are not able to query every server for informations (Name, Gametype, Players, Ping, etc). Maybe you have some firewall bloking you from DOS attacks or something similar. Check if you have deactivated Windows Firewall and if your modem/router is ok...

Router works perfectly fine and the firewall is not blocking. Im using MacBook also, maybe should have said that earlier.

Simply check "Compatible version"

Re: Teeworlds server names is just numbers?!?

Hmmm could that be caused by the max ping option set to 999? All the servers that are shown on the tab have 999 ping which is max in tw and it's hard to reach it.. xD they are probably offline, but that wouldn't make any sense retrieving them now, would it :? Just try and set the filter to 998 i believe it will hide the unneeded ones smile

Re: Teeworlds server names is just numbers?!?

The problem has nothing to do with neither ping, compatible version or whatnot.

Why this is happening is because port 8300 is open, which is the port that the master servers use. However, all other ports (which the Teeworlds servers use) seem to be closed/blocked and therefore the client cannot connect to the server and query it for information about the name, number of players etc.

Very unlikely problem, you should check your firewall, anti-virus program and router to see if there are any security settings that might prevent DoS or similar.
