I can confirm that this is a problem - everyone sees the four servers I
linked to the group, but it takes 30 seconds or so for them to appear on
the menu, and only one person has ever actually got one of the servers
to show up in the "join group server" menu itself. I've tried manually
running heartbeat, adding more master servers, etc. to no effect.
It also seems like opening certain menus then returning to the main menu
will stop the group servers list on the main menu from ever appearing.

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.

It will work in most cases, just not all yet. We'd like people to test
it though.

Was mostly just mentioning it doesn't work, and given the password
doesn't appear to work quite right, We could be stuck without private
servers, which is A Bad ThingT

sv_password "" seems to be buggered too (though it could be
openserverbrowser related), my remaining passworded server will
let me
connect from the server browser, puts me into a lobby that lasts
about 3
seconds, loads a map and crashes my client.

Just another quick (bug?) report, if you click 'Create Lobby'
from the 'Play
on Steam Group Server' screen, it goes to a find lobby screen
instead of one
with the 'create lobby' button.

Subject: [hlds] Steam community group features
Ok, we're getting ready to ship the first round of the group
features we've
been working on this week.
There is a new cvar called sv_steamgroup, which takes the Steam
group number
(which is now visible on the group's administrative page). The
server will
still be part of matchmaking, but users that are in that group
will be able
to browse directly to it from the main menu. Also, if this value
is set,
there will be a button near the message of the day that allows
users to go
directly to that group's page. This allows them to join that
group if they
like, and then be able to browse back to it in the future.
There is another convar in there called sv_steamgroup_exclusive,
which isn't
completely implemented yet. The goal if it will be to make a
server only
joinable by users within that group, but there are some edge
cases where
matchmaking could still potentially put users on there. People
are welcome
to play around with it for now, and we should have it fully
implemented in
the next few days or so.
Hopefully this addresses some of the concerns server admins have
brought up.
Erik
