This was the browser fix in beta #4 ... if you didnt delete the ini or somethin b4 installation of #5, maybe that's why it doesnt work. Just try doin this.
Open your ut2004\deathball\system\deathballuser.ini
look for this....
[GUI2K4.UT2k4ServerBrowser]
bStandardServersOnly=False
CurrentGameType=Onslaught.ONSOnslaughtGame
The last line has to say:
CurrentGameType=Deathball.DB_Deathball
Save it and run. Fixed

version mismatch = server has different version than you
Servers are not updated to the latest version by default...

This also happens when the server is running the new beta patch from Epic and you're not. Wait til the patch is more stable.. and test your install by connecting to other servers as well.

Delete all db related files not in \Ut2004\deathball\
