Does this mean master server is down?

Yep that's it, today is the day.

Here is how to fix it for anyone that needs to know: (thanks to buggie for writing the instructions and to those in the community for making and running their own master servers)

snowguy I understand people with 436 versions will not be able to play online?
My advice to everyone, update your game to 469c

Players on v436 can still use the browser to find servers if they make the changes to their ut.ini shown in the link above.

They could also still connect to servers that are already in their favorites or connect to servers if they know the IP address and port of the game server.

It is my understanding, the changes will automatically be done for you if you patch to v469c using the .exe patch version/method.

It's probably best to just do the patch.

I think you can just change the masterservers in UnrealTournament.ini if you still use 436.

I mean not everyone knows how to change IP...
I met people who don't know how to edit ut.ini 🙂

For me, there is a big difference between 436 and 469c. And 469c did a great job for the better. (graphics, brightness, crashes...)
