“Where are the servers? Why are they not displayed? Questions like this are the most frequent occurrence on all online gaming forums. From old, but remote Counter Strike to mighty World of Warcraft or Allods Online. All games sometimes suffer from this.
A newbie gambler enters the game and does not see the connection or the list of available servers. The user is angry and, depending on the level of his civilization, performs one of two actions. Less civilized user shouting "Banzai!" smashes the monitor, breaks the computer and goes to buy a new one. The more civilized one goes to the forum and swears with the developers. Is there a golden mean?
You should start with the standard “go out and go in” procedure. Paradoxically, it works! You can just restart your computer. At the same time, check: is there any Internet at all?
It is worth remembering the degree of "antiquity" of the toy. In order to play a number of games released almost on the same day as the first computer on Earth, you need a special network protocol (for example, IPX). It is necessary to check if it is installed and configured correctly. If it’s wrong, you just need to find the setup guide and do everything step by step, and then restart your computer again. And that's it, Diablo and Old Crafts will run like clockwork.
What about online role-playing game servers? The client program has been downloaded, installed, registered and, in some cases, also paid for. Several hours (or even days) of the game are over. And suddenly there is no connection to the server. But don't send your computer to better worlds. In 95% of cases, shutting down the computer for the whole day will help (often even several hours are enough). During this time, the developers will just have time to cope with the next failure, and everything will work.
What to do with the remaining five percent? Most likely, you will have to reinstall the game client program or even the operating system itself. While thinking about this, it will be useful to scan your computer for viruses - sometimes it really helps. Is it worth mentioning that after checking, you should restart your computer again.
