So, my mod's server shows up in the server browser for me. (just checked today 
7/14)  I do have the same behavior where when I'm playing the game, the player 
status in Steam says SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer....Nobody actually plays the 
SDK, so it makes more sense for the mod's name to be there..

Speaking of that, when playing a source mod, Steam Friends shows they are in 
game in the SDK Base the mod is based on, i.e In-Game: Source SDK Base 2013 
Multiplayer, instead of saying "In-Mod" like it used to.

Additionally, mods of Alien Swarm are showing friends as "playing mod: swarm" 
no matter what mod they are playing. In Steam, playing a mod of Alien Swarm 
shows up as "in mod: Alien Swarm".

I'm pretty sure the root cause is the same in all cases.
This apparently started happening in March.

Greetings everyone,

I apologise if this issue is already known on hlcoders, I haven't found any 
reference to it yet though - Mods no longer show up in the Steam server 
browser. This includes SDK base 2006, 2007 and 2013 MP mods. The issue started 
after a Steam update and persists (atleast for my mods) today. There has been 
some forum posts about it on the Steam forums but no one has found a solution 
yet. The mod files (i.e. gameinfo.txt) match the latest ones in the SDK github 
repository. Also, servers do show up in the ingame server browser, but not 
outside of it. This seems to be a bug with Steam, if there isn't a solution, 
I'll report it here.


I'm using Windows 8.1 x64, and the last selected game in the game tab of the 
browser was a mod. Once it was opened, the game field is blank and it's showing 
all games now, as if mods are no longer valid in the list.


Regards,

Peter McKeown
