Can you elaborate what exactly is not working for you?


Try this below in the console and you should enter a server.
Open 80.4.151.145:5777

Update the following in UT2004.ini in System folder in UT2004's installed folder.
Comment out the existing MasterServerList lines, and add the new line for MasterServerList for OpenSpy.

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
;MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master1.epicgames.com",Port=28902)
;MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master2.epicgames.com",Port=28902)
MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)

This will change the masterserver list to point to OpenSpy community servers (because Epic has shut down its own UT MasterServers), and you can then join/host the game on Internet (multiplayer). Enjoy!

There is another master server host called 333networks. They can also be added to the .ini - in case one goes down, the other will work.

If both are up, the game kind of just picks one randomly.

[IpDrv.MasterServerLink]
LANPort=11777
LANServerPort=10777
MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)
[MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.333networks.com",Port=28902)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.errorist.eu",Port=28902)

That's us

Another option is to right click in the server browser, there should be an option to "Open IP" which is the same as the console command, just visual.
