It works fine for me though. I have the exact thing set on my server's server.cfg: *sv_search_key 1013,key:KEYHERE*
And in my client's autoexec.cfg: *sv_search_key KEYHERE* And I gets tons of random people and I can connect fine using just the search key. It's full 90% of the time; I usually have to kick people off so I can get on. What do you get when you run sv_showtags? My server shows: Tags: Public : empty,key:KEYHERE1013,coop,versus,survival Private: empty,key:1013,key:KEYHERE1013,coop,versus,survival -Mike On Sun, May 3, 2009 at 4:08 AM, Jonah Hirsch <[email protected]> wrote: > Here's a quick update... > > I have sv_search_key is this: > > sv_search key "1013,key:MYKEYGOESHERE" > > both in the server *AND* in my client. > > I can connect to my server just fine (~80% of the time?) doing this. > > HOWEVER: > I have only had a few (one or two) instances in the past week in which > random people joined my server.
