Steam clients cache the IP addresses of the list of Masters they last received. This cached IP address list is no longer valid since the Masters have moved. The Steam client will take a few minutes to timeout to talking to these old IPs since it will not receive any replies. Once its timed out a few times, it will request a new list of Master IP addresses from our servers. Once it receives this new list that contains the IP addresses they moved to it will then start receiving server lists again.
The list your posted is the old Master IPs. The Steam client does not write out the MasterServers.vdf file until it exits. Restart your Steam client (once it starts successfully listing servers again) and the MasterServers.vdf file will update with the new addresses. I hope this clarifies it up for you. -- /// Zoid. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jonah Hirsch Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2010 9:41 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] HL2 Masters Have Moved If they are the same then can you clarify what this was supposed to mean? *snip* > will correctly pick up the new addresses of the these Masters.
