We've been having issues with our L4D2 server not showing up under SteamGroup Servers. It shows up in the steam server browser, and users can connect directly, so there's a workaround; but setting up games without a lobby is a right pain.
At the end of the campaign, it dumps all the players into a lobby with "official dedicated" server selected under server type. No custom maps or plugins. Single, unshared installation. Ran -verify_all to see if it would catch anything. We've made no changes to our configuration and have had the server continuously operating correctly as a community server selected in-game for about 3 months now. We just started getting the problem shortly before I left for my vacation on December 20. The nature of the problem and the timing leads me to suggest that this is related to the open 3rd party servers not getting any traffic. Don't really know how to help diagnose with this one, since it's not like it's a crash with a precending event. -Ross Critical Failure Gaming Network > ------------------------------ > > Message: 6 > Date: Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:26:23 +0100 > From: Peter Reinhold <peter_va...@reinhold.dk> > To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list > <hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com> > Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 servers losing Steam > connection > Message-ID: <550f8f5e98d14bfbdc86591041de9...@reinhold.dk> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed > > On 04.01.2012 19:06, Ronny Schedel wrote: > >> our L4D 1 & 2 servers losing the Steam connection and don't receive >> any players anymore.
