[cod] RE: Linux dedicated Server not in InGameBrowser: No I don't have a Firewall

[Chad Rose]

I have clients that complain about this all the time.  And the in-game
browser issue cannot be referenced solely to the Linux Dedicated.  As even
the Windows server doesn't show up at times.  Think about it.  The ingame
browser only shows 2048 servers.  So wouldn't it be likely that at some
times the server that you are running isn't going to make it into the list.
And honestly... wouldn't you still complain if they increased that value to
something like 8000 and you had to sit and wait for a 10 minute long
refresh?  Using search engines like ASE or HLSW will always tell you if the
server is visible from the internet more or less.  But the game may or may
not always show up in the server list.  So... even though it's Activision
problem, and the only problem is their master server(s) aren't capable of
showing 'all' the servers 'all' the time.  Would you really call it a
problem?
