The heartbeat problem was not fixed with the last update :( It doesn't do any heartbeat after the server goes in hibernate mode.
The heartbeat command and sv_search_key are not doing any heartbeat. So I have to wait a long time (it does a random heartbeat from time to time) before my server is joinable again from a lobby or to show up in the Steam Groups Server menu. 2008/11/11 David A.
