Guys, these configs dont/cant stop players using the built-in server browser (openserverbrowser command - custom/history tabs) to connecto and play on your server or players manually connecting via IP/Port if your server is listed on the web somewhere. Randoms can even join friend-only games using the server browser.
I believe lobbies also check the lobby host's server history when finding a server. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Brent Veal" <naslund.fan...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, April 25, 2010 6:00 AM To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Subject: Re: [hlds] [L4D2] Server seems to be dropping sv_search_key after awhile > I have a 2nd server which is pretty much set up exactly the same way and > it > doesnt have this issue.
