You CANNOT use the sv_search_key on a steamgroup exclusive server, you can however assign a steamgroup to the server and still use it. Don't worry, you won't have a bunch of unknown people joining your server.... soon as you set sv_search_key NinjaTurtles, only those clients with the search key NinjaTurtles will find your server. And yes, should be done on both the client on server without quotes. (I was able to use it yesterday so I'm guessing it still works :-P) Walton
