Despite the cvar slist_cacheinfo being 2.

The issue is a bit more specific.

The engine does a protocol based check, so if the com_protocolname is anything other than "FTE-Quake" or some equivalent then we will never parse the server info through CL_ReadServerInfo() in net_master.c. However that doesn't yield results either in games/mods such as FreeHL.

My breakpoint at the end of CL_ReadServerInfo() when we copy the player details into the moreinfo struct is never triggered regardless. Yet to investigate why.
