AW: [cod] Where are all the players?

[[OL]YODA]

Jep.

A lot of people are asking us why they have to wait so long to connect to a
server running 1.2 an PB active.
But the most modifications are running now very stable on 1.2, too (AWE,
PowerServer, Admiral, PAM, Back2UO, etc.), so I wouldn´t say it´s a
mod-problem.
And we also hear often about the problem, that the servers aren´t showing up
in the InGame browser, I think this is a problem of the Masterserver and of
the unofficial Linux Binaries 1.2c (Can only speak for German users, but
most server in Germany are running on Linux-systems).

The drop in players on cod2 after the patch probably relates to a few
things,  1 : a lot of people still havent updated because of all the
mods available at the time.. awe etc  or Possibly  loads of them  dont
want pb to catch em :)  And 2 there is a problem I think with the
authentication servers / master server listing. as a lot of othere
people have stated here.
