I highly doubt that Steampipe is the cause. Your friend just might have
more luck on matchmaking than you currently do. I'm not sure how servers
fill up on mvm, Usually players go where players are so mm propably puts
players to already player filled servers empty slots but if no slots are
free, then to an empty server.
Some folks earlier, months ago were worried on their mvm servers due to
server reputation system, that people quit more often and they are
unable to get a positive score. I can safely say that if you run a good
server, despite people getting off or kicked out, your server score
should be a lot on the positive side, even though only 6 players are
able to fit in at a time. You will know this if you have had players
daily for several hours.

I actually sent a message asking Fletcher to look at this for my MvM servers
today.
My Matchmaking traffic suddenly died on all but a handful of my 20 MvM
servers a couple months ago. Nothing has changed since the Steampipe for me
so I don't think for me it's steampipe related.
Before the trouble began, literally every MvM server I brought up would
fill in minutes, now I can't even get most of the existing ones to get
traffic. It's like something is stopping the 75% servers from getting any
traffic while other identical 5 servers are working fine.
My buddy also runs a bunch of MvM servers and all his are full most of the
time. His are totally identical to mine and are located in the same
datacenter mine are. The only difference is the quickplay IDs.
I'd love to be able to look at their info somewhere and see what's causing
it. Since all my servers are identical except for the IDs, I can't
understand how it could be related to the game servers themselves.

Subject: [hlds] Steampipe & Quickplay
Do I need to re-register my steampipe TF2 server for quickplay, after
updating from a hlds version? Or can I use the quickplay account from my
previous (identical) hlds install of TF2?
Reason I ask is that I have had a steampipe version of a (previously)
popular server which had a fair amount of quickplay traffic, but since
moving to steampipe the player numbers have fallen dramatically. Today, as
an experiment, I re-enabled the pre-steampipe (hlds) version of the server
and player numbers immediately picked up. So it seems to me there must be
something wrong with my steampipe/quickplay setup, even though all the setup
of the server is identical to the previous hlds install.
Anyone else experiencing a similar issue to me?
