10:15 AM EST, I don't see the server in the listing. It also doesn't appear under my favourites. It seems to be only this server that isn't showing up...
Did it crash or something?
EDIT: Nope, just a bad case of the browser bug.

I've had this problem before, but it usually comes back after a couple of refreshes. I've tried restarting the game a few times, refreshing plenty of times, and it isn't showing up.
Stupid browser. :(

Hmm? I don't get what you mean... :oops:
The server isn't showing up for me at all. Not in the main list, not in my favourites.
I've tried re-adding the server to my favourites manually using the IP, but it tells me "this server is already in your favourites."
Like I said, I've had this problem before, but it usually only lasts a couple of minutes. Never this long... :cry:

My favorites also glitch sometimes. IW needs to patch the browser.

oh sorry rb i thought you ment it was like 2142 where if you refreshed favs the fav would disappear. Since then i never refresh favs.
I just keep clicking and if it says server full i dont refresh i just reclick it and see if it lets me in.
It the server just disappears, then i dunno :) let us know if you find a fix for it though.

The exact problem i have. No amount of refreshing makes it appear. I have to exit the game and then it's fixed. :(

that's the fix right there... you have to exit the game (or at least go back to the main menu) and reload.

I've tried both of those numerous times, and I still don't see the server. When I hit refresh in the favourite server listing, it says "getting info for 2 servers" (I added one more to see if it would work, and it did), but yet only the other server shows up.
I have to see if there's some way to wipe the favourites out and try re-adding Cain's Lair. The delete button obviously won't work, since I can't even see the server, never mind highlight it. :shock:
You know, I think I've had every problem in the book (if not more) with this game. It must hate me. :cry: :twisted:

Never thought of that...
It works! Thanks! :D :bow:
It still isn't showing up in the list, but I'm hoping the problem will fix itself like it usually does.
On another note, I refreshed one more time and the other favourite on my list disappeared too. :? Meh...

I've had this happen a lot. To restore the list of your favorites:
Go to favorites. Click "add favorite", type '63.113.60.2' and click OK. Do this EVEN if you've already done it.
You should see a message that says "server already on favorites list", but then, suddenly, it actually -appears- in your favorites.

Its not the server that is at fault its a bug in the game itself.

Wow.... I did that earlier, and it didn't work. I read your message and tried again, and the server reappeared. :o :shock:
Thanks! :2thumbs:

Yeah, if re-adding the server doesn't work (happens sometimes too) try re-re-adding it. I don't know why but I think it somehow makes it initialize the favorites list or something...
I love COD4 but man the browser is buggy. I also wish (like I wish for every game) that the join had an auto-join system like Valve uses. It's such an excellent feature, why isn't it in every game? We'll never know.

Also guys be sure you do not have a filter set, such as "don't show Full Servers"..

You can do this through x-fire with COD4

Read this. I added it and just click on the shortcut and I automatically join The Lair. No searching through the browser.

Not sure if that's directed to myself or not, but if so...
As I said before in another post, the issue here was that it disappeared from both the server browser and my favourites list. It was as if it were deleted from my favourites, but the counter in the corner said that the server was still on the list.... But it wasn't. I couldn't access the server at all. When I tried to add the server to my favourites again as suggested in that link, it told me that the server was already on my list, which, you guessed it, it wasn't.
I had to use mapes's suggestion to connect to the server, then L_Mo's suggestion to get it to reappear in my favourites.
:? :shock:
