Ummm, yeah... thx for the de-rail
 
Hrrrm... afaik Fridays update http://store.steampowered.com/news/7036/  broke 
the steamgroup servers feature for L4D2. It never returns any of our 
servers now.

Anyone else? L4D seems to be working fine though L4D2 isn't. I'm guessing 
the new function added broke it?

- Added blocklist functionality to Left 4 Dead 2

Next time use the status command to see what is the public IP for your servers. 
You may have a surprise and see that different servers are seen by Valve as 
having same public IP, a new “feature” introduced since few days. Restarting 
the servers will fix the problem…

Thank you... while researching further, I just discovered 6 of our 8 TF2 
servers weren't showing up in the Valve server browser. I then found an 
additional game update since the last one after re-running the hldsupdatetool. 
I don't get it, somehow 6 of the 8 servers didn't have this update, yet the 
other 2 did; this in spite of the fact that they were all updated at the exact 
same time and all showed the correct version numbers in HLSW. 
 
Since running the hldsupdatetool again, all the servers are now appearing in 
the server browser and filling up. Bizarre. Sorry for the false alarm, but if 
anyone else is having this trouble, you may consider re-running the hldsupdate 
tool as well.
 
Have a good evening,
Mike

I've actually seen the opposite on my server. It was struggling a little before 
the patch. We had to seed every day for a while. Now it's got players around 
the clock. And this pattern has happened several times now. I wouldn't worry 
too much. Just seed on your servers and stick through it and you'll eventually 
get that traffic back.
