Help.Servers list is empty?

[FIreBlade]

Guys.Need help.I am online but my servers list is empty???In the left corner show 5/5 servers but cant see anyone.

[Rogue Ryder]

thats normal mate
it does that for us all al the time

[lewosch]

is it for server list of multiplayer or zombies? if for zombies, then it's just normal, so nothing to worry about, as @Rogue Ryder told above.

I assume you may be new to WaW zombie mode, as many old-time players are aware of this chronic problem. if you have a couple minutes, you can check the topic below, regarding various known problems & solutions for co-op modes, and how to play online zombies in WaW more effectively.

I am seeing very few servers today, none of the ones i normally play on. Any idea what's going on?

Was happening to me earlier too - I think there's some sort of issue with servers... I am guessing it is those bot servers you see which unless I'm mistaken are automatically restarting every so often which is probably why they are still up.

Just tried to jump in now and it's happening again annoyingly... seems servers are up if you look on gametracker but I can't even connect to them manually.

well, I refreshed multiplayer server list once and it gave info for ~ 120 servers, then I tried to join a few populated ones just for testing, and apparently there were no problems for me. I don't really know what was the reason for why you couldn't play multiplayer, but it may be something on your end (possibly your internet and network settings).

if it's a reinstall of the game after a long while (or a first install onto a new PC), you can check your windows firewall settings to see if WaW has exceptions to interact online. you might also try restarting your router once, especially if it hasn't been turned off for too long. additionally, you can limit or stop any background downloads while playing, and use ethernet cable if you currently play on wi-fi. other than these, I don't really have any more suggestions to share; hope it helps.

UPDATE: as refreshing the list, I also see very few multiplayer servers now, compared to an ordinary day... it looks like that's a universal problem (probably treyarch related).

it is also doing it to me too i think alot of people are having this problem

It's happening again. You can't even manually join using their IP so I don't know what on earth is going on but it is very frustrating. And it seems to be happening on an off too.

I suppose it could be related to the master server used by treyarch, as it's basically what refreshes the status of servers at players' request, and then shows them with real-time info. I believe master server is responsible for checking the validity of players' license keys, too.

additionally, World at War doesn't use any of the steamworks features (MW2 is the first CoD with steamworks integration), so the online modes aren't affected by weekly steam maintenance (the same also applies to CoD 1,2,4).

around the time black ops: cold war was released, I remember some connectivity and server browser problems occurring in other treyarch CoDs as well (black ops 1-2). it's possible that treyarch is trying hard to support their most recent title, and re-allocating some resources from older games to BO:CW could be the reason of the issues in WaW MP.
