So is sv_steamgroup_exclusive still broken, or can I use it? I have a customer who wants a server that only his group can use.

If you direct-connect then you get prompted for the password. - Dave David Parker wrote: > This brings me back to something I said several times when the srcds for L4D > first came out: Why can't you set sv_password on a server and still connect > to it from the lobby?
