As announced before, Epic will shut down the official master servers for our game on January 24th.

But this won't be the end for us.

There is already a new community master server, built by the OpenSpy project, which will take the place of the official master server.

As a player, you have two options now:

1) Add any server you like to your Favorites (with right click). The Favorites menu works independently from any master server.

2) Switch to the new master server (many servers are switching there one by one right now). To switch your master server, you have to make a change to your ut2004.ini.
We are also using a mutator on CEONSS now which can switch your master server for you! You will see an info text when you join CEONSS now.

If you are worried about losing access to a server that is not using the OpenSpy master server (or you don't know which master server it is using), add it to your Favorites first, then switch your master server.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Epic will turn the master server for UT2004 off on January 24th 2023.

That means that the list of servers in the server tab will no longer be available.

Unfortunately, Epic has also decided to remove UT2004 from the Steam shop.

After January 24th, you will still be able to directly connect to any server if you know its IP, or to connect to any server that you have added to your favorites.

Here is CEONSS's new IP: 194.26.183.119:7788

Make sure to add all the servers you like to your favorites before that date!

On November 12th (that is next Saturday) CEONSS will move to a new server!

Server name: CEONSS 2.0
New IP: 194.26.183.119:7788 -> please add it to your favorites!

The new server will feature enhanced netcode.
For high pingers: When you join the server, press F5 -> go to Misc. tab and place a checkmark next to Enhanced Netcode.
For low pingers: Please leave this function off to preserve server resources.

High pingers should see a big improvement when playing on our server. There are also more options for everyone, such as Brightskins, enabling/disabling hitsounds, etc.

See you soon on our new server! Have fun & play fair!

Hi peeps,

Our host has been having some issues lately. CEONSS is back up, but we are using a new IP address, so please look for our server in the server list. This is most likely temporary while we are waiting for our host to fix our regular IP address.

New IP: 176.57.141.10

Hope you will all have a Happy New Year!

Hi peeps,

We are still looking for more players to join us for around 2 hours this Sunday evening to compete against a team from OMNI.
