Wrong Flag on all Teamspeak Servers!

Make sure server is up-to-date with the latest geolocation database.

Did you activate the setting to view them?
if not, go to
Tools > Options > Design
and check the ā€˜display country flag on clientsā€™ box

If itā€™s a local connection you will not see it.
If you do not see it while connected to an external IP (nothing in your LAN/WAN) then the IP is not known in servers ip2location database.

Option 1 is to wait for next server update or Option 2 is to ask the host to use a Maxmind database (see server changelog).

This is an process that happens automatically before a server was build.
So i assume this db was updated.

But i forward that to our developers to make sure if an update was applied.

Please take a Look here

i read that, did you also read my text ? :slight_smile:
from 3.1.1 Linux to 3.13.5 Linux server version it was not fixed, and I think thatā€™s quite a few versions in between or ? :slight_smile:
TeamSpeak 3 3.1.1.1 released on January 15th, 2020 and TS3 Server 3.13.5 on 18 May 2021

Also since server release 3.13.0 9 November 2020
this is supported: New support for MMDB style GeoIP databases
But there is no exact instruction how to do this or which DB to use from MMDB.

Quoting the server_quickstart.md which can be foudn in the doc folder

  • mmdbpath (empty)
    Set to the path of an MMDB file to use this as a source for GeoIP lookups. Requires libmaxminddb installed, which can be found in most Linux distributions as a package. Windows users can use the .dll found in the redist folder.

2 posts were split to a new topic: IP2location database is outdated with latest server

Hi, I need some help, a flag of my country doesnā€™t appear next to my name on TS3, could someone help me, Iā€™ve already been banned because of that I would like to solve

Sometimes there are gaps in the geo-location data. Are you using a VPN ore somethins witch blocks you geo-location? I had that same problem once and a serverupdate fixed it for me.

Do you have this porblem on every teamspeak server ore just one?

And just a tip this is an englisch forum so please you englisch next time :smiley:

Iā€™m having this problem on every server I log on!

I know people who only got an IPv6 address from their provider.
I could imagine that your provider only gives you an IPv6 address too and that this address is not on the hardcoded geo ip list which is integrated in the ts3 server.
This list is not up to date, thatā€™s why ts3 servers have the possibility to use external lists.

Check on one of the whats-my-ip-address websites (e.g. https://whatismyipaddress.com/) if your provider only gives you only an IPv6 address or an IPv4 too.

I could imagine that this is the problem.

I just checked the site you gave me, it only detected ipv4, ipv6 didnā€™t!

Did the website detected your location correctly (at least country)?
