Are you aware of any problems with this group feature not working right? I just tried to look again for servers in a group I am in.
Someone else reported the same problem: If I waited 30 seconds or so at the main menu, I eventually see servers scrolling by for 'Steam group servers', but this takes a while, as they do not appear immediately like friends playing on servers does. However when I click on them to go to the 'find games' screen, there are never any results for games to join, Ive tried waiting at this screen for several minutes too. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Erik Johnson Sent: Saturday, 15 November 2008 3:33 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Cc: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] Steam community group features It will work in most cases, just not all yet.
