If use sv_steamgroup in my server.cf my clients are reporting that as soon as someone from the community group joins the server it is taken off the Steam Group Server list and no one else can see it in game. Also my host.txt file doesn't seem to working, I had no problem with it in the demo. Last but no least z_difficulty is not working anymore, did they change or remove the cvar for the full game? Anyone know?

So now I have to go back to using connect from the console to get on my server. Yet, it still shows up as one of my steam group servers when I start l4d. But if you try to connect from there, it starts the lobby then tells me it can't find a dedicated server. The problem really stems from the lobby system I suppose. The game shows up for everybody in my group, but when it is exclusive nobody can connect to it using the interface. Forced to use the console. Obviously, for now connecting through the console isn't a huge issue. But what's the point of the steam group exclusivity variable if we could just set a password instead? I had thought it was a problem with my config, but it seems like that might not be the case. Is the sv_steamgroup_exclusive stuff really fully implemented yet?
