Do we know why some servers are able to enable direct connect even when Beamdog services are down and others cannot?
Default option is for servers to authenticate CDkeys against the master server. Failure to do so could result in people mimicking CDkeys and therefore posing as someone else.
Some servers change that option to only try to authenticate if it can find the master server, and otherwise just let it go.
