FAQ:

I can't see any servers

First, make sure you've correctly installed the OnwardsDM patch from above; this is absolutely necessary for playing online.

Otherwise, this is usually due to HTTP traffic to the game being blocked by a firewall or antivirus software.

In the case of firewalls and some AV software, the game may require an exception to be able to connect and play online.
Some anti-virus software incorrectly blocks the server-listing traffic from the game with features such as HTTP filtering or "Link Scanning"
- AVG Anti-Virus is particularly notorious for this, and may require re-installing AVG to fully disable the filtering.

In rare cases this can be caused by the online services being temporarily offline for maintenance.
