I have spoken to many server leaders and frankly we all feel that this is a ploy to get people to stop playing the game.

If the master server does fall you will all be able to still run a server but it will not be public and will only allowed to be accessed via DIRECT IP.

I hope that we can work something out to keep all this up and running.

i won't stop playing, until all servers go down (please don't)
I played this game since it came out (2005)

I wonder why admins delete posts about tools, that help in solving this problem...

Are there any plans to run a server? All conditions have been created. SOG servers are already online. And why did you delete migsvk`s post?

When I posted the same it got deleted by forum admins...

@GameTracker Admins/Developers: Since the Master Server is down, it's not possible to start a new swat server normally. If configured to run via Internet, the swat server tries to connect to the master server at startup. If this fails, the server is not working correctly. And it fails always since the master server is offline.
Anyway if the swat server is setup as Lan server, it's working fine and it's reachable via direct IP over the Internet. But it looks like in this mode the normal query port is disabled, therefore GameTracker is not able to detect a lot of swat servers which are currently running.
It would be good if you could change your software: it should use the normal gameport instead of the query port. Another option would be to accept the query port of the GEZ/Marks-Mod which are installed at almost all Swat4 servers.

I second this, as creator of the Mark Mod.
Almost all game server query software is capable of handling the query protocol of the Gez/Mark Mod, expect GameTracker.
If you need any additional information concerning the protocol, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hello,

Thanks for the detailed post. I replied earlier to this thread: http://www.gametracker.com/forums/forum.php?site=1&post=310328#post310328

Perhaps you would know, is there any server config flags that will enable the original query port? (I'd imagine that there isn't). That is a shame that it seems the original GameSpy query port would be disabled if the master server is unreachable.
