Hi Hutch, I am not from Valve, but here's what I know. There was a minor update today that fixed the tf_mm_strict cvar. It now works again as advertised. So what you're trying to accomplish:
- Quickplay traffic - Visible in server browser - Direct connection Should work with setting the cvars as follows for MvM: tf_mm_servermode "2" (strictly for the MvM lobby as you already suggested) tf_mm_strict "0" (because you want to be able to see it in the server browser) For all other maprotations: tf_mm_servermode "1" (enables quickplay) tf_mm_strict "0" (enables server browser & direct connections) Don't put MvM maps in your regular maprotation! I hope this information is of help to you. It works perfectly for me anyway. Regards, Ruud On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 3:27 PM, G.
