if sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 1
you need create lobby and select steamgroup server type and select steamgroup server andd start game.
but there is an exception:
joining from steam group servers list. It was not same with console connect ip:port, it was creating lobby when you join even if server you joining is 0 players (0/
.
and today this changed.
every community server i trying to join and
have that cvar is 1 (because if you set this to 0 (zero) your server can't reserve a lobby and quick match/join button does not sending players to active server)
gives same result!
what the !?
what we do? if we set cvar to 0 we can join from bottom right steam group server list but we cant invite a player from ESC menu or friend list!? and quick match button not sending players to server too!!
