Hello everybody!
I used to play quite a lot on this server, but lately I can no longer find it in the server list. I even tried to join by selecting view > servers > etc. from Steam, but the game crashes every time.
I've also noticed that my server list seems shorter than it used to be (I can't see NA servers, for istance).
Maybe somebody around here know how to fix this? I miss this glorious server :C

There's an issue where servers that you've joined in the past (history) and ones that you've bookmarked are saved in the ini files. The benefit of this is that the game will ping servers that you've previously played on or favourited. The problem with this system is when servers shut down, if there's a list of say 20 servers in the favourites and they're all online then pinging them take less than a second.

If some are offline, the game waits for a response e.g. 2 seconds. If say 10 of the servers are offline it waits for each server and reaches a point where the total time waiting exceeds the time allocated for pinging all servers. So the ones that would actually respond (at the bottom of the list) don't get a chance to.

The easiest fix for this is to wipe the bookmarks/history. Unless you want to do a line by line affair, the simplest way to do this is to open my documents/my games/chivalry/udkgame and rename the config folder. Then relaunch the game, the game will recreate a stock config

Then check if the servers appear.

If all is well you can start copying back any configs that you've tweaked from the directory that you renamed - the ones for graphics and keybinds are most commoon. udksettings.ini etc.,
