sv_allow_lobby_connect_only shouldn't work anymore. With it set to 1 or 0, direct connect work just fine, because direct connect ALWAYS opens a lobby now, it doesn't direct connect like on other source engine games. 2008/11/20 Arg!

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Linux Group Server Connection Issues(sv_steamgroup)
Since the cvar is back, I always leave it at 1, and I can connect from a lobby, direct connect, and from a group just fine. I have 5 servers, and all are working with direct connect. The only line I have in my server.cfg is the sv_steamgroup and the rcon_password. 2008/11/20 Arg!

Good to know. :) Have you have any luck with sv_steamgroup_exclusive at all? Ideally I'd like it set to 2...but after reading through some forums, I'm not even sure it works.

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Linux Group Server Connection Issues(sv_steamgroup)
There was discussion that having a 2 setting, with behaviour as described, would be a good idea. This was just talk amongst ourselves however, not something that's been implemented. So it came from the list, in a sense, but it's wrong... Chinese whispers at work ;) Typing cvarlist into a console and saving the output as a file somewhere is a good place to start to work out what you can and can't do with the server. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ksu.deadeye Sent: 19 November 2008 15:59 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] L4D Linux Group Server Connection Issues(sv_steamgroup) Also good to know. :) http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8449565p ostcount=5 Was this post just flat wrong?
