Q4 game browser does it work??????

Hi all,

Well bought myself a copy of Q4, as I have enjoyed Q3 (and mods) so much
in the past.
So I fire up the game and go to the in game browser to give it a test
online, it scans about 400-ish servers but nothing comes up on the
screen. I remember Q3 being this bad :( so does the browser actually
work?

Then I got a server IP from the ASE but Q4 just sat at 'waiting
authorization'. So a bit fed up with it already, I assume multiplayer
does work? but why is it such hard work to play a game I want it to be
fun :)

I suppose I will have to play the single player :)

My ingame browser works. It didn't for about one day, I assumed the server 
was down. I wonder if that's about the same time yours didn't. Is it working 
now? I get 1000 games servers come up with it.

I have found out it was the noCD/DVD exe I was using. I put the original
one back and had to retype my key and it all works now. Only problem is
now I have to keep my DVD close to the computer to play the game I just
bought. I will have to look for a better noDVD patch is there one out
there somewhere?

I have one that works.  I find Q4 so much faster finding the servers than 
Q3.
I can send it to you if you like.
This is only a no cd ....the game will still check for a correct key.

I think you are right it does seem a lot quick now I have it working.
It's a pity so many of the servers are empty, but I have managed a game
or two.

Thanks for the offer but I have found one now, the key is no problem as
I bought the game. I just hate having to find the CD/DVD when I want to
play.

it works, but it still very buggy... reports imporper pings, and only grabs 
1000 servers at a time.

Kquery4 works very well, and it's free. read the 'all seeing eye' thread for 
more info.
