I found this: 1) Although in the "MasterServer2.vdf" port 27010 is advertised, the hl1 master server is currently on port 27011. The Steam server browser is apparently using the latter.
2) Some service is still active on port 27010 on the same IP, but as mentioned earlier the reply from this port is an empty packet. 3) Servers need to restart to get the new master server port. So for server owners the fix is a restart. For third party tools the work-around is to try the other, not advertised port (27011), if port 27010 returns an empty packet. 2011/12/13 pizzahut: > - Steam's own server browser lists only half of all TFC servers in > Europe (18 instead of around 40). > - When querying the HL1 master server listed in "MasterServer2.vdf" > (folder "Steam\config") with my own script[1], I get a zero bytes > response. > > [1] https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/User:Pizzahut/msqp.php _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
