I've been having similar issues since the update came out. I rented a new server and my old config which restricted access via steamgroup refused to work. I completely reinstalled the server and redid the config from scratch, but no luck. Then, eventually, yesterday and for part of today i had the server protected by sv_searchkey, but that seems to have stopped since i rebooted it. The same settings no longer work and changing them around doesn't help any.
So for me, currently, neither of these methods is working at all, public lobbies get straight onto the server, which is annoying as it sucks to have to kick people off mid-game, but when i've paid for the server, i want to be able to use the damn thing. :/ I'm having issues clientside as well with no steamgroups showing, i don't know if this is related or not though. Server is hosted in the UK, i've currently got metamod/metamod souce on it, but the issue existed on a vanilla install as well. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
