Is it just me or what?
I've tried joing a zillion games and it either tells me it's full (when it's not cuase the browser says 1/4 etc) or it keeps asking me for a PW which is wierd since I applied a filter for passworded and full games.
Yes, it is a legit copy.

I'm having the same problems. Try using some server browsing software and joining by IP.

hehe.. that's because they are.
Merlin, go into Kali and check the Dm3 games on the browser. They are ALL Full. this is the hottest game of the year, all servers are going to be packed. There are several thousand Q3 servers and most have ppl in them.
I expect to see at least that many Dm3 servers in the next year or so.

Duper, I can understand that but when the in game browser says there is only 1/4 persons in it, it's weird when I try to join it then tells me it's full. That's a bug and should be fixed.

Not quite.
You make the assumption that the status of the server would remain static for the time you are looking at it, you don't consider the fact that it might've changed after the server list was sent to you.
For all we know, three other people where in the prosess of connecting when the info go to you, and had already succedded by the time you chose a server to join.
with a cap of 4 players, servers would get full very fast.
com_showfps is your friend.

Random q, but do multiplayers give shadows? I know that the singleplayer doesn't, unless enabling a very buggy console option.

Flip, I refresh the server list often, I mean like every 2 seconds and try to join a game.
Shadows are on by default on HIGH settings. Not sure about lower ones.

I think he's talking about self-shadows, and yes it does.

Finally was able to join a game last night but I had to scroll down to a 300+ ping server. OH well.
