This is still a problem, mods aren't showing up in the steam server
browser (not the server, the game itself isn't being recognised as
existant unless you launch the game). If you View game info on someone
playing SDK Base 2013, it says what server they are playing and it
shows the game as the mod in the server info, but steam itself isn't
showing it. It seems there is some sort of bug in steam going on here,
has anyone else noticed this? This is only for 3rd party mods that
aren't in the steam store ( i.e. mods in the SourceMods folder ) as
far as I can tell.

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is blank and it's showing all games now, as if mods are no longer
valid in the list.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
