Has anyone else been having issues with dedicated servers showing up as ping 9999

LOCO, I am experiencing the same problem. I run two servers - one provided by GameServers and one by Defcon. I find both not showing up in the server list at least a couple of times a day. I can return them to the list by rebooting the server. The server is definitely online at the time they disappear from the list.

Defcon tried changing/opening ports for me. I have not contacted GameServers.

I even shortened the commandline by removing items that the EPIC forums said were no longer necessary. I'm wondering if it was the HiSpeedLowGravity mutator I last installed on both, but the number of mutators on both are not the same and I don't know why this one mutator would do this. My last resort will be to remove the mutator because I really need it for the environment of the server.

UPDATE TO MY POST: I removed the HiSpeedLowGravity mutator from both our Private and Sniper Inn servers. When I returned to the game, both were shown as online. Shortly thereafter, I booted up the game to check and the Private server was shown as offline (9999 ping) in favorites and not at all in the main BR server list. The Sniper Inn (running DM) has continued to show up on line since I deleted the mutator.

Since the Private server had a shorter mutator line than the Sniper Inn and since it continues to experience the server list problem even after removal of this latest mutator, I don't think that it is the gravity mutator causing the problem. I also don't think it is a problem caused by any of the other mutators nor does the problem lie with the server providers. This is a very distressing situation. I have been running a server in UT3 since the game came out and I have struggled with glitches and waited for each patch patiently. This problem, however, threatens to undo all that I have done to build up clientelle on the server. We were rocking along nicely and building up a nice little following. I am sick at heart.

I am returning the mutator to the Sniper Inn server. Folks were getting used to it and liking it. I will continue to monitor both, of course.

I sure hope someone comes up with an answer for this soon.

Well, I don't know if my situation was even close to what you were talking aobut, LOCO, but I want to following up my post with the final answer for my problem. I found that my server provider's commandline changer was generating a duplicate command line. They had to change some code to correct the problem. I didn't see this at first because I was focused on the mutator portion of the command line and only recently ran my cursor out the entire length of the commandline on the server log where I found that the line started over again.
