There used to be serious lack of servers especially around this area where i live. I always was thrown into some 130ms+ servers far away from me when our servers where full (and i didnt want to kick familiar people off to join in myself). Also our servers got full constantly day and night. In l

Then does anyone know what would cause my server to be ignored by the matchmaking system? I've tried starting just vanilla servers and still no attempts to join. Normally I would assume a firewall issue (although that would be odd for a dedicated server box that we rent for the server), but if yo

I've been running a couple of L4D servers (CentOS) since the demo came out. Very stock config, but I do have it associated with a Steam group. Server is east coast US. The first week the two servers will filled with ppl nearly 24/7. Now it's trailed off a bit, but still from about 10a t

I've commented out the groupid in the server's config file and after ~15 minutes of running a player has yet to join through matchmaking or otherwise. Is this typical? I will also mention that I am running this off of a fork, with 2 config files (the other server is a private group_exclusive serve

I'm not positive, but I think one of the updates made it so that if you chose to bind your server to a group at all, the server would be removed from the matchmaking process whether steamgroup_exclusive was set or not. The exclusive flag comes into play because if it's not set, people outside the g

I am currently running one dedicated server on a Linux box, and I have noticed that it is rarely used. I will keep the console up to see the events going on on the server, and it seems that the majority of the time the server does nothing but send heartbeats to the master server. I can join the s

Hello, I have a passworded server set up which we connect to directly using "connect" in the console. It is one of 8 forked servers. I wanted to make this a versus-only server, so I added "map l4d_vs_farm01_hilltop" to its cfg file and exec'd the file from the server console. This reloaded
