Anyone know why some games show up on the game list but are unjoinable?

Some curious things i've been noticing is that servers often don't have their folder/paks listed and sometimes contain no players.

Been noticing it a lot over the past few days.

If the server is behind a NAT, then it will not having a ping or player count/list before joining. This is a fundamental limitation of games behind NATs. Joining that server will require help from the RakNet matchmaking server, and if that matchmaking server is offline, then you should get a NAT error. I can't see what's on your screen, so I can't tell if this is what you're seeing.

Either enabling UPNP on routers manual forward of 17770/UDP should fix this. The UPNP is a better fix, as it's one setting that should stick and doesn't require people looking up their internal IP, etc.
