There are hundreds of HL2-DM and HL2-CTF servers not showing up on the long Steam server list, even though they are working and can be manually added to the Favorites. As a result, these servers are staying empty because the players who don't have them as Favorites don't see them.
There are normally 600-700 HL2-DM servers, but since last Friday there are only about 315 showing up. Likewise only half of the HL2-CTF servers have shown up since Friday. This has not improved or resolved, and does not relate to them using the vacbeta settings.
Nothing that has been tried has resolved this issue. One of my 4 servers shows up on the long list 67.18.241.75:27015 and another on the same server box will not show up 67.18.241.74:27015. They have identical file setups. This second 16 person server is normally the 3rd busiest HL2-DM server as determined by http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?qry=&game=hl2mp2&order=grank Since Friday it has remained empty. GG Valve! Hurry up June 20th for BF-2

Sorry to ask you to resend the dping tool steps, but after reading back thru all the threads I have seen, some how absent minded me seems to be over looking it.
Thanks,
Jim aka Crash Dummy

If you see this message it could be because of two causes, either your connectivity to our servers OR our servers are undergoing maintenance (which during this beta period is common). If over the course of a few days you never get a successful connection then follow the instructions I email earlier to debug the problem (using the dping tool).
Enabling sv_enableoldqueries is not recommended.

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Well the CTF server is down twice in as many days. After updating I was having problems and I implemented the "sv_enableoldqueries 1" solution for third party server monitoring and then it started working fine. Later, it crashed from a "sv_broadcastmessage" error which resulted in the unable to read memory at an address location error. After that all I get is a "Could not establish connection to Steam servers" error. I hope there is a solution quickly as there are many servers idleing and maybe a more aggresive testing strategy before future 'update' releases.
