all servers down... or what happened?

slyr1x · 19 Jul 2026 at 03:31 · permalink

For the past 2 days no servers appear when I open up the "Join Server" list. Is there some sort of outage or is there a workaround?

Master server at id software is probably down
If you run the ETLegacy client, they have their own master server, so it's fine
Else, you can add their master server to vanilla ET with /seta sv_master2
master.etlegacy.com

Reb Brown this is Peevish McTavern here. I play on Old Farts with you. Did you get this figured out?

Hi Peevish - no I even installed the standalone and fired it up but not any servers show up in the list of servers. Does anyone have any idea why my computer wouldn't connect to the servers... either via steam or via the standalone game? This is wild. :( Legacy seems to have servers, but they are all high ping and with mostly bots on them.

If it helps. No servers in the U.S. either.

Servers list are available running et without steam? Anyone tried?

slyr1x · 23 Jul 2026 at 01:00 · permalink

my server list is empty both in the steam version and the standalone... the Legacy version of ET shows like 6 servers with only a few people on them so that's hardly a substitute. What happened? Was the server connector for a bunch of IP addresses in some datacenter in the Middle East that got struck or something?

Since Xbox has recently emptied id software, perhaps they've also shut down other resources, like the master servers for the old games
I do hope I'm wrong

Hello everyone. If you know a server you usually connect to, you can try finding the IP here:
https://et.trackbase.net/serverlist/
and then use the `/connect ip` command in the console. That is the only way that works for me right now.
I can't see the ping, so I'm trying to connect to all the servers I remember.
