Call of Duty 2 Server Not Showing Up on Master List In-Game

[own3mall]

I'm running a CoD 2 1.0 Linux server (just setup the other day), and the server is not showing up in the master list in-game.

I'm using the 1.0 Linux server binary from here: https://aljandor.ovh/pub/?dir=games%2Fcod2%2Fbinares

The game server files come from a fresh install of CoD 2 1.0 (unpatched). The server log shows heartbeats being sent to cod2master.activision.com

No ports are blocked.

The server.cfg file looks pretty much like this: https://github.com/firebull/ghmanager/blob/master/scripts/servers_configs/cod/cod2/main/server.cfg

Any idea why the server won't show up in the list in-game? I don't think this server binary is a cracked server, so I would expect it to show up in the master list.

Any help would be appreciated!

Looks like I got it fixed. The server name has to be shorter in the server.cfg or whatever config file you use.



seta sv_hostname "Simple Name"


Showed up once I did this... Not sure what the character limit is, but if you go over or use a character it doesn't like, the server won't show in the master.

The other hostname was super long and it didn't show up in the list.

Strange, I don't remember such masterserver name filtering behaviour

I would compile libcod myself, I don't know if it's related though
