If you guys may recall I had a big problem with the servers being listed and people joining. In addition, they would show "Disconnected from master servers" or w/e it was in console after sitting there for a while. I figured it out.
It actually was my firewall. Even though I mentioned that I was super sure the firewall wasnt the problem, it turned it was. I had the normal ports 27015, 27016, and whatever else was listed on most websites were needed to be open, in addition to 40,000 to 65,000 open, and apparently that wasn't enough. I went back and opened 1025-65535, and now they are happy and people playing. I wish Valve would release exactly what ports are used for *everything*, that way we can be sure the correct ports are open. So if you anyone is still having problems with nobody joining, and you have already commented out sv_region, try turning your firewall completely off for a day or two and see if that helps. If it does, then you know it's your firewall. Jonah Hirsch wrote: > I've set mine back and it works fine. I can use search keys and they > show up in the community list.
