Product Information
What is 333networks masterserver?
Directly replacing the GameSpy MasterServer with a "like-for-like" alternative, supporting a wide range of games.
333networks serves as the official MasterServer for multiple gaming companies, offering options to self-host, use the main MasterServer, or both.
Most alternatives require players and administrators to install and run third-party clients that may conflict with other platforms, especially Steam, and necessitate website registration. The 333networks MasterServer utilizes the game's original built-in system, allowing users to see the server list as it originally appeared.
Players and server administrators only need to modify a few lines in the game's configuration files.
Game developers can update hardcoded games upon request or redirect GameSpy URLs to 333networks via a modified HOSTS file.
Still under active development, numerous games have been verified to work, including:
- Blood II
- Deus Ex
- Duke Nukem Forever
- Heretic II
- Nolf Arena
- Postal 2
- Rune
- Shogo
- Soldier of Fortune: Retail
- Star Trek: Bridge Commander
- Unreal
- Unreal Tournament

- Wheel of Time
More games may be supported but have not yet been tested.
