Master Servers
When looking for Unreal servers to play in, your game queries the master server at Gamespy by default to find a list of the public Unreal Servers.
If for some reason the Master Server is under maintenance or is down, Unreal won't return a list of any Game Servers in your browser.
To avoid not being able to see servers in your browser when the Master server is down you can add a few other Master Servers as a backup like thenerdnetwork.com, hyper.dnsalias.net, master.oldunreal.com and master.hlkclan.net
By adding other Master Servers you can extend your browser configuration and not only return servers that are listed at Gamespy but also from other Master Servers. This way you will see a list of servers in your browser if the Master Server is down at Gamespy as long as the person running the server configured their server to show up on other Master Servers .
To Join Server's Manually
For those who don't want to edit their Unreal.ini or perhaps are not computer literate below is an easy method of joining a server when your Unreal browser is not returning servers. All you need is the server IP address and port number. It you saved the server in your favorites then it should show up under the favorite tab.
To join a server type the IP address in the "open" box at the top of the Unreal browser.
If multiple servers are running on the same IP you will need the port number to successfully join. SP server's can be joined from Sniper's Paradise home page from the Server Info section by clicking on the 
image. You can also get the IP address and port number from here as well.
How To Query Other Master Servers - Using Unreal 224.
To configure your game to query other Master Servers:- Locate your Unreal's System folder, usually C:\Unreal\System
- Create a backup of your Unreal.ini file
- Edit your Unreal.ini file with a text editor, e.g. notepad
- Find the section [UBrowser.UBrowserMainClientWindow]. It's a list of Master Servers your game uses to ask for Game Servers.
- Find the line that starts with ListFactories0[7]=
- The line should read the following
- ListFactories0[7]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0
- Replace UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0 with one of the following 4 lines.
UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.hlkclan.net,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.hyper.dnsalias.net,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.thenerdnetwork.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal
- In the example below master.thenerdnetwork.com was used but you can use any of the Master Servers listed above.
- The section should now look something like:
ListFactories0[7]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.thenerdnetwork.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0
- Save your Unreal.ini file
- Restart your game
You should be able to query the Master Server added, if for some reason you you cant see any servers then replace your unreal.ini with the backup copy and try again. When using 224 you can only have 1 Master Server listed unlike 225, 226, 227 and Gold if you ever want to use the original Master Server just replace the name of the master server your using with "master0.gamespy.com" or find it in the default.ini.
How To Query Other Master Servers - Using Unreal 225F, 226 and Gold.
To configure your game to query other Master Servers:- Locate your Unreal's System folder, usually C:\Unreal\System

- In the copied line, change the index number in the square brackets to the next free number
- In the copied line, replace master.gamespy.com (or master0.gamespy.com) with master.thenerdnetwork.com
- The section should now look something like:
[UBrowserAll]
ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=unreal ListFactories[1]=UBrowser.UBrowserHTTPFact,MasterServerAddress=master.telefragged.com,MasterServerTCPPort=80,MasterServerURI=/servers.txt ListFactories[2]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.thenerdnetwork.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=unreal ListFactories[3]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.oldunreal.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal ListFactories[4]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.hlkclan.net,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal ListFactories[5]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=master.hyper.dnsalias.net,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,GameName=unreal - Save your Unreal.ini file

You should be able to query every Master Server you added if for some reason you you cant see any servers then replace your unreal.ini with the backup copy and try again.
Server Owners-How To List Your Unreal Server On Other Master Servers
To configure your server to advertise on other Master Servers:- Locate your Unreal server's System folder, usually C:\Unreal\System
- Create a backup of your server's Unreal.ini file
- Edit your server's Unreal.ini file with a text editor, e.g. notepad
- Find the section [Engine.GameEngine]
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=
or, if you use Nephthys then find the list
ServerActors=Nephthys.NptServerUplink MasterServerAddress= - Copy the line containing master.gamespy.com to the end of that list
- In the copied line, replace master.gamespy.com with master.thenerdnetwork.com
- The section should now look something like:
[Engine.GameEngine]
or with Nephthys:
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=www.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
