Just today I had an issue where a single server would not connect to the account. I changed cvars around, disabled and re-enabled quickplay but nothing helped. Restarted the server and it instantly connected on startup. Don't know why that was. I had the same problem some time ago and it did in fact reconnect after a couple of seconds. Weird.
