Hello,
I have a server running Left 4 Dead 2 that I am able to connect to if I manually connect in the console as well as with the mm_dedicated_force_servers option. This works well for when I want to play, but I want to open up the server to the public so others can use it. Unfortunately Valve is not utilizing my server as I had hoped; the only people who have connected are those that know how to force the connect. I have tried using sv_allow_lobby_connect set to on with no luck. I've left the server running for days at a time with no one connecting at all.
OS: Debian Lenny i386
CPU: Pentium D 3GHz
RAM: 4GB DDR2-667
GAME: L4D2
Start up command:
./srcds_run -console -game left4dead2 -secure +map c1m1_hotel
-autoupdate +log on +maxplayers 4 -nohltv +sv_lan 0 -port 27015 +ip
207.246.157.196 +exec server.cfg
MODS: MetaMod/SourceMod
tl;dr -- I want public lobbies to be able to click Start Game and have them be able to connect to my server, but for some reason this isn't working.
