Hi All (VALVe Developers (Matchmaking)), Wondering if this is being looked at at all? After sorting out network issues it still definitely seems that there is something in the matchmaking/lobby code that plays havoc on LAN. I've been able to get other srcds-based servers like Team Fortress 2 to work flawlessly, so I am wondering what the problem is with L4D/L4D2? Are VALVe prepared to say that it is now impossible to run and connect to a LAN server? Is anybody else able to succesfully connect to a LAN server behind a NAT?
Beginning to think it's deliberately crippled...
