We have a fix for this issue. It should ship soon, we just don't know
exactly when yet.

That's not the case I'm afraid. There's two issues I created on GitHub
about this
(https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/issues/161 and
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/source-sdk-2013/issues/162) but
there's not a single reply on them. For our team it's not that time
critical as our next release is still in the works and will take some
time to finish. But other teams may be ready to release their 2013
based versions already, which on the other hand would not make any
sense right now since there's no way for players to find any non-LAN
servers. Let alone that games players start right out of their game
won't be listed at all.

I am curious if this has been fixed and or confirmed a bug by valve?

Manually connecting to listen servers works well, and it's better than

be a reply and/or fix soon.

I've been experiencing all of the problems that you describe, and as
people have mentioned dedicated servers can be addressed with some
steam.inf fiddling. Using this I've been able to have some games where
people connect manually. It's not a very nice solution though, and I
hope both the server browser and the steam.inf issue will be resolved
by Valve. (Sooner than later hopefully, since my game is at a
standstill if I can't do any playtesting.)

I posted a comment to the issue Ryan linked to. With Source 2007 servers a
double-click on the game opened up the mod instead of the base
application,
so this should work for 2013 servers as well. I'll create two new
issues on
GitHub. One regarding the version which is fixable by adding the steam.inf
and one for listen servers not being listed in the server browsers.
