Well, again, if you want to choose what server you are going to, there
are mechanisms set up for that - search_key and dedicated_force_servers.

You can also do a direct IP connect thru the console while on the game's main
page and then once you get to the server, you can vote to make changes to

You can also setup a steam group and then link to it in your server config.
Your server will then show up in the game menu for anyo

How can you use mm_dedicated_force_servers if you can't get to the
console from a lobby? Does it work if you enter that before you get into
a lobby? I've generally always used that as lobby leader to take my
friends and me into our own server.

I truthfully got pissed off at the L4D server system after I spent a
