I Can't See the Server

If you can’t see a game server or the LAN portal, start here.

1. Physical check

• Is your network cable plugged in at both ends?
• Do you see a link light (green/amber LED) on your network port?
• Are you using the cable provided by us? (Do not use your own cable unless authorized).

2. Portal check

Open your browser and go to spawn.ctrl-alt-gg.hu.

• If it loads: Your connection is fine. The issue is likely the specific game server or your firewall.
• If it doesn’t load: You have a connection problem.

3. IP configuration

Make sure your network adapter is set to Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP).

• Windows: Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet > IP assignment > Edit > Automatic (DHCP).
• Static IPs are not allowed and will not work.

4. Server status

Check servers.ctrl-alt-gg.hu.

• If the server is red/down there, it’s down for everyone.
• If it’s green but you can’t see it, check your firewall.

5. Firewall

Temporarily disable your Windows Firewall or third-party antivirus firewall to test.

• If the server appears, re-enable the firewall and add an exception for the game executable.
• Do not leave your firewall disabled for the entire event.

Still nothing?

If you have a link light, DHCP is on, and you can’t load the portal: ask for help.
