I can connect to a server if I know the IP before hand... but when it goes to refresh the server list it says it can't find any.

HELP!

In the past I have found that a firewall can interfere with that if its blocking a port the game uses.

Every time I go into the game and it starts refreshing automatically, it doesn't come up with any servers. I have to hit the stop refresh button and then hit the refresh all button again and I see between 2 and 3k servers. If that doesn't work, it's almost surely a firewall issue.

Yup I have the same issue... I haven't tried to shut down my firewall yet ot see if that fixes it but surely thats the issue.

Yeah that did it. That's pretty stupid. I'll have to report that as a bug.

I think it happens to everyone, I'm sure they know of that bug, but it can't hurt to resubmit.

That's the thing. I was constantly updating it and looking up who all these companies and governments were and watching my back... Got annoying after a while.
