can't connect to your servers since this morning, every other gmod server works fine simply times out and says connection failed would be very nice if anyone could check if i (birthpainsofastralprojection) was banned or anything and if yes, why cheers
We've noticed recently that for some people the server isn't appearing regularly and we're trying to locate the issue. Please be assured you haven't been banned or IP blocked though I've just rebooted the Surf server. If you could tell me if you could see it now, that'd be fantastic
Okay, there's been a known issue with Garrysmod (and to a degree, other Games that use Valve's Master Server) for years whereby the server browser will aim to find servers that are closest to you geographically. The best way to imagine this is draw a small circle around where you live on a map, then start drawing a bigger circle around that and so on. Once you've found ~4500 servers, it'll stop looking. (More Information RE this: https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1374457&p=44566155&viewfull=1#post44566155 where I talked to Valve about this). The problem is this - because the server is US based; if there's too many EU servers that can fill your listings you will not see any [BB] servers as a European based player (I suffer from this issue as well). As a result you have two options. You can connect directly via IP - "connect 96.44.144.133:27015" in console or you can add the server to your favourites in the legacy browser and connect through that. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do until we can possibly get re-direct servers set up in Europe; but that won't happen for a while.
always connected via ip/favorites/history the problem is not the server not showing up in the list, but the timeout when i try to connect
Okay, I suspect this is at the datacentre level. Are you able to access http://marruuk.bbservers.co.uk ?
