Hi guys.

Just downloaded the full game zip and the updater. Unpcked everything and when i try to start the game it wont open. There is no default cfg on game. Where can I grab it?

when i open the game the blue windows shows this:

execing default.cfg
"MINUS" isn't a valid key
"PLUS" isn't a valid key
couldn't exec q3config.cfg
couldn't exec autoexec.cfg
Hunk data failed to allocate 800 megs

Actually the default.cfg is packed into the games data files. The game executes it on the first launch (hence the "executing default.cfg")

The next two lines are "errors" in the default.cfg, with non-existant keys being bound, but that doesnt matter. In the next two lines you see you game never opened correctly, as no q3config.cfg was ever created.

Of these messages, only the last one is a problem, as it tells you the game failed to allocate memory. Been a while since i looked into this, but if this persists, you can create a q3config.cfg, or autoexec.cfg for that matter, and write
seta com_hunkmegs "512"
into it. I would recommend going any lower, and tbh im not sure why it fails for you at 800. Works on my machine :P

Check back here if you cant get it to work.

ok. so.. i created an q3config.cfg with only this line "seta com_hunkmegs "512"" and the game openned.

what is this number? what is better to set on this line?

[Yro]

ow.. game is running.. but no servers are show. no server list.

what to do about that?

com_hunkmegs sets how much memory should be reserved for UrT (not necessarily used). Setting it too low will cause your game to crash because it doesnt have enough memory, setting it to high will cause your game to crash because the system doesnt give the client the requested amount of memory (as there isnt enough).
512 used to be the default for the last couple of years, and still works fine. I checked, and since i never updated my configs, i still run it. Works perfectly well.
Just keep it at 512 and forget about it. Until an error comes up that reminds you. But i doubt that will actually happen.

Here is a checklist to figure out why you dont see any servers:

• Check what the top left corner of the server browser says when you clicked "get new list".
  
• Check if you have any filters set.
  
• Check your master server (in the console, type "cl_master")
  
• Check your firewall and AV software
  
• Check your network setup. If you are in some sort of restricted net, you might not be able to get a server list.

• Check what the top left corner of the server browser says when you clicked "get new list".
  >>> No server list from master server.
  
  
• Check if you have any filters set.
  >>> no filters set.
  
  
• Check your master server (in the console, type "cl_master")
  >>> master.urbanterror.info the default.
  
  
• Check your firewall and AV software
  >>> No filters on firewall nor av. all allowed for urt.
  
  
• Check your network setup. If you are in some sort of restricted net, you might not be able to get a server list.
  >>> no filters on my network. sometimes i get server list, and sometimes i dont. this time i dont get the list and nothing at my side. my isp is not blocking anything related to urt servers too. i dont know how to solve it, if its possible to be solved by me.

No server list from master server.

So your game isnt reaching the master server, but the one set is correct. We can be sure its not due to wrong filters.

Check if you can connect to a server via its IP and the console directly. You can check the servers list on this website, and at least as a workaround even use the sites "play" buttons (installing the urt:// protocol recognition) to play on servers.
