Lucky! I remember I could to. But really it is just a waste of time.

You need to use port 27016 instead of 27015...
im not able to explain precisely why but the 27016 is used for playing from same machine as hosting from..
simply ad -port 27016 to your launch parameters

Ok i'm a bit confused (and probably being stupid) but I've been running a server on my comp for a while (on and off) and have never had a problem playing from the same box.
Is this not meant to work then?

You're no meant to run a server an play the game on the same computer.
