What exactly is your process for verifying that the master server is not including your server in search results?

That certainly could be enough to make you not see the server, depending on where you are searching from. We have a lot of TF servers nowadays. The master sever only sends the top 5K or so servers that are geographically near the client doing the search. Are you doing your search from a computer that is geographically near the server? You can also simply monitor UDP activity for clients pinging your server. If your server is responding to pings, it is being reported to somebody.

Let me break it down - This server is EXACTLY the same as another that is showing up on the search function within the game and on game-monitor for example so I know it's not a config issue its something on the server side. The old server is located in Florida the new one is located in California so they are completely different IP#'s which is the only difference between the 2 aside from a #1 and #2 in the names. The specs of the new server is - CentOS 5.7 : 1.2GB Ram :80GB HD : Intel 386 Platform : Xeon CPU's : in a VMWare 4.0 Virtual Environment I've tried opening up ports 27000-27040 forwarded with no outgoing ports blocked The main problem is WE can see the server, WE can enter the server, WE can play in the server. THE MASTERSERVER is just not sending it as part of the list which will not show up on the search in game or out of game with things like game-monitor. Now... its very very unlikely the server IP# range is blacklisted so I've ruled that out but hey....who the knows at this point. Suggestions?? Keep in mind now the Configuration of the two are 99.999% identical the only things different is the IP# of the two and the #1 and #2 in the names!!! -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of ics Sent: Saturday, November 12, 2011 10:55 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Server Detection It should be instant. When you start it up, does it say connect steam servers successfull? Also do status on the console and see if the ip it has is public. -ics ----- Alkuperäinen viesti ----- > This may or may not be a good question as I may be over looking > something simple...but I've recently started up another TF2 server but > for some reason the new one isn't showing up when you search in the > in-game browser yet I have one that is Identical almost aside from a > few minor changes such as #1 vs #2 in the name.
