I can't seem to find the thread where we were talking about
sv_search_key last, so I thought I'd just make a new one.
I last mentioned that the cvar didn't seem to work, but since then it
has been working just fine. The only thing is that my servers now seem
quite empty when I have the key set.
Low and behold, I decided to shut down half of my servers to remove the
search key, and what do you know; people joined instantly. Is this the
intended functionality? I'd still like public lobby games (where users
don't specify a search key) to be able to use my servers, but have users
who do
Yep sv_search_key keeps your server private for ready use of lobby joiners who
have the key for that server in the config or used in console.
You cant have it open for public lobby use becasue then you cant be sure the
people who have a key would be able to join a free server.
Other wise they
a lobby and join our
server at any time because it is always empty. Well, unless someone from our
clan happens to already be using it, obvioulsy.
