With the extra info I have been able to connect to my server. I wonder, do you get players assigned with a custom slot count other then 10?

I have earnt achievements on my box and now seeing an influx of players once I idle there through matchmaking. I have experimented with all combos of sv_search_key and mm_dedicated_force_servers use - overall, I can conclude its very "iffy". I have run a summary email to Ido who enquired with me. If I do a changelevel to clear a reservation, I can get in to my server 90% of the time using "Find a game" and all is good. Still some odd moments where it doesn't work. Generally, I do not use sv_search_key at all, and it still works as reliably. So mileage may vary, or due to outside factors on the matchmaking server we do not understand. Hopefully this is all fixed soon. I cannot understand why achievements are tied in to lobby reservations - this is not true for L4D2 or other titles, and may just be an oversight / bug.

Seems to work fine for me. I've put into my autoexec.cfg on my local machine : sv_search_key "ToG" mm_dedicated_force_servers 109.70.148.78:27017 And then Find a game picks this server up. I did need to do the mapchange though. Not sure why there were problems 2nd time around but I'm now running in dedicated mode. Thank you so much Nick - what a star!
