For Those Not Picking Up Players
I honestly can't tell you why any of you aren't picking up players... what I can tell you is that it's nearly always an (inbound) firewall issue (yes.. even when MORKEye is running on the same box as the game server)...

The server name is picked up using rcon... but the players are monitored using pbucon... these are two completely different communication methods. Therefore just because the server name shows up it doesn't mean it will see players.

Now... rcon uses the network game port which generally has no problems communicating with the server.... however pbucon uses a port specified by YOU and it is this port that has difficulty getting through firewalls.

Windows firewall is often the culprit... turning windows firewall off is NOT always sufficient... however if you wish to turn off the Windows firewall to see if it helps then you MUST also disable the firewall service and NOT just turn it off in the security center.

For those having difficulty please be assured that MORKEye does work just so long as pbucon can speak to the server...

Regards
