Hello everyone, it seems that the search key and steam group functions are horribly unreliable. For example i am often unable to join the server via search key unless i first restart the server then join, this seems to refresh it with the steam servers somehow? Anyways, i don't believe I'm doing anything horribly wrong, here is the launch line and config currently being used on 64bit debian lenny with no firewall.
