-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Matt,
I do the same thing with my servers that you want to do by making use of the sv_search_key, and *not* sv_steamgroup_exclusive (using the two of them together resulted in not being able to use the lobby to connect to my servers at all). All you have to do is be the lobby leader and have your sv_search_key set, and you should be able to create a public game that other users can join. I usually just play with friends (that do not have sv_search_key set) but it should work just as well for a public game.
