I've set the sv_steamgroup "xxxx", but don't have the sv_steamgroup_exclusive in the config. The steamgroup comes up, but it then goes to searching for the steamgroup and can't find any servers. I did have it actually find and was able to get to the lobby, but then it kept searching for the dedicated server, while in lobby. I was unable to actually connect to the server. I do like this feature of having sv_steamgroup for our community.
