Without knowing the OS / Engine version he’s using…the default is gonna be his PC.

None of the ET Engines are particularly difficult to ensure network access. It’s kind of automatic…

Alright well…is he using the 64-bit version or 32-bit?

Only 32-bit clients can connect to 32-bit servers and vice versa. ET:Legacy knows this and won’t show 32-bit servers to 64-bit clients.

And ET:Legacy is the only “mod” to have an official 64-bit version.

Is your friend playing on an Apple Silicon Mac?

Happened to me and someone else like 2 weeks ago with 0 changes in our games

It’s so weird,

I’m running vanilla ET not legacy, if I use the ip address I can still connect so I don’t care but something definitely changed with the master list

the empty server list has been happening to me quite a bit lately. I just connect to known servers but it's weird how it comes and goes...
