Sounds like you're on the backup server. Just reconnect and you'll be on the main.

What lobby are you using? Somehow you ended up on the test server at taspringmaster.clan-sy.com:8300, which should be impossible to get to accidentally. The main server is taspringmaster.clan-sy.com port 8200, and if you're using tasclient turn off 'connect to backup if primary host fails' for now.

This is NOT an isolated incident. I had a lobby client running on the backup/test server for a few days, and a few new people (1 every couple of hours) just get connected there on their first try. Reconnecting never helped them for some reason, it still bumped them back on the test server. Some, I could walkthrough to manualy set taspringmaster in the lobby options, others just didnt get or just failed to connect to that server. Altogether in the time I spent on the test server, around 20 people who were new got bumped there, and I could on get a few of them connected to main. Its very sad to see some poor newbies desperately trying to host a game with noone there to join it.

These may be people who downloaded P.U.R.E. RC3, it was sending them there because 0.77 wasn't available yet.

Beherith, getting on the backup server is very different from getting on the test uberserver. The backup server is where you go when you can't get to the main server, and tasclient never changes the port. Uberserver is running on port 8300; if that's not put in manually, then... makes no sense.

Where did you DL the lobby client from? I'm wondering if someone is hosting a test build linking to the test server for some reason.

But that's still test/backup server, not the test uberserver.
