Title: so, people play this, right?
Post by: l337matt on September 12, 2009, 07:11:50 pm

I just downloaded and installed this goldeneye source today, because it looked awesome.  I launched the game and everything went great.  Except, when I went to "find servers", there were no servers... Obviously people play the game, because there are people on the fourms.  So, am I having a problem?  Or do not many people play, or just not all the time...?

You can always find someone that is playing. Check to make sure that you have the latest version installed. (3.1.4) NOT 3.1.3 or 3.0

Also, make sure you have source sdk orange box installed. If you still can't find anything, it could have just been a bad install or something.

If worse comes to worse and it doesn't work:

1) Reinstall SourceSDK Orange Box
2) Restart computer
3) Reinstall Goldeneye Source 3.1.4(Be sure to completely delete the goldeneye sourcemod folder before installing the fresh one)
4) Restart Computer

If all went well, you should see around 21 servers or so with people on a few of them. Generally there are 2 servers or so with people almost filled to the brim or scattered throughout. Good luck. If you have any other questions or problem, feel free to post here. :)

Also, one more thing to note: There have been a few corrupt or bad install files floating around on a few websites so if one doesn't function right, try getting the full install from a different source.

See you in game,
Saint

Welcome to the forums; uncheck "Show server list" or whatever it is called on your server browser. It's on the lower left corner. I believe that's the problem. If not, do what Saint told you to.

Also, uncheck the box in filters that says "has users playing" or something since it could be (unlikely) that people weren't playing when you checked (although I doubt it since people are ALWAYS playing when i look.

I wouldn't say that. I've caught some deserts on my server browser. Oh wait, different time zones...

Thanks for the help so far, but I already had all those things covered.  I did completely install source sdk- orange box, and goldeneye source both with success.  The game did launch, and I could create a server and roam around, but no servers showed up under internet.  I also already tried the filters, everything was unchecked.  And, not that it should matter, I unchecked "show map list".  Maybe there is another file I need to install?  I only clicked the download tab, which led me to a wiki page with a bunch of mirrors for the game.  I downloaded the full.exe
Any other sugestions?  I realy loved, (and still have,) goldeneye on n64, and this mod looks amazing.

Are you absolutly sure you have the correct version? We're currently on 3.1.4, not just Beta3.0.

Make sure Windows Firewall isn't blocking the Source SDK Base (it does by default, I have to go and unblock it manually on my computer, or tell it not to block the first time I launch the game).

yep, did that too.  first tme I launched the game, I clicked unblock for the pop-up.  I think the game itself is ok.  Am I suposed to download like a seprate server patch or client or something?

Check to make sure you have a file called "steam.ini" in your gesource folder. If not, that is your problem and I can guide you from there.

Post by: l337matt on September 13, 2009, 03:11:00 am

Yeah, that's the problem, but I don't know how to fix that.  Do I just need that one file?  Is there a place I can get the one file, or do I pretty much need to re-install from scratch...?

Title: Re: so, people play this, right?
Post by: Mark [lodle] on September 13, 2009, 04:20:58 am

Make sure you download the full install as the patch is only for people who have 3.0 (and im sure its still missing a couple of files)

Title: Re: so, people play this, right?
Post by: l337matt on September 13, 2009, 05:42:32 pm

I did get the full game.  It said full.exe I sure of it.  Apparently I just need that steam.ini file, but where do I get it?  Or will I have to install all over again from the start?

Title: Re: so, people play this, right?
Post by: kraid on September 13, 2009, 06:30:31 pm

simply create a new textdocument in your SteamApps/sourceMods/gesource/  folder, name it steam.inf and write

Quote

appID=218

in there. That's all.

Title: Re: so, people play this, right?
Post by: l337matt on September 13, 2009, 08:26:49 pm

Well, I tried that, and it didn't work...  I also tried naming the file steam.ini because that's what killermonkey called it, but that didn't work either...  I don't think I'm suposed to play this game...lol

try this:

Code: [Select]

connect 206.123.95.197:27050

Type that into console.

Post by: l337matt on September 13, 2009, 11:42:37 pm

Ok, wow...  I put that in, and I successfully connected to it.  No other players were on at the moment though.  I tried goin to Internet under find servers again, but still, "There are no internet games that pass your curent filter settings".  However, under history, this server that I connected to was listed.  Does this solve any mysteries?  Anyone have a deffinate answer now?  Maybe someone can try playing on that same server with me, to see if I really connected properly.

Update:  A friend told me that I might not have the serverbrowser file, located in the platform folder.  Lo and behold, I don't even have a platform folder.  So, just on a hopfull whim, I copied the platform folder with the serverbrowser from Half-life 2 deathmatch, and put it into GEsource folder.  Unfortunatly, that didn't work either.

Have you tried using steam to look for servers?

Click on servers at the bottom of the main steam window and change the filters to Game as Goldeneye:Source Beta 3.1

if that still doesnt work view wake's post

I will post more IP adresses, you should favourite all these servers and refresh it daily to get a round with people from all over the globe enjoying GE:S.

Sorry for the issue, it seems odd as these issues have not happened in months to any players. Bad luck it seems, but we are glad we can help you overcome it :)

Good job, Wake.
@l337matt: hope we'll see you playing soon ~

Or even better expressed in the ninja's words:
"We are looking forward to killing you soon!" ;-)

If you head to http://www.ges-stats.com/hlstats.php it shows who are on the three WNx public servers. Your best bet is the Chicago server, it's one of the more popular servers around.

Or use Wake's idea...just visit all those IPs, and use your History tab to check for when they're populated ;)

Post by: l337matt on September 14, 2009, 12:55:05 am

Thanks very much for all the help.  I went to the servers tab, and changed it to goldeneye and that didn't work either.  But adding all the IP address's should do me just fine.  Thanks again and I'm accually going to try playing in about 15 min.  Again, I apreciate all the help.

Post by: CCsaint10 on September 14, 2009, 06:17:09 pm

If you truly want to be able to see the servers, as a last resort, you could completely reinstall steam and see if you are just missing some strange base file that was not fixed in the reinstall. Just a thought :/

Also, I am not sure if this could be a problem, but see if you have a personal firewall through your antivirus program or through a router that might be blocking your port connections. Try to just disable them all when you try to load up goldeneye and see if you can then see your servers. If so, then there are guides how to forward ports for steam all over google and I am sure we can help you here if you need.
