Reply With Quote #1

Hello, I recently made a few servers, but they do not show up on the steam's master list. The IP in status shows 0.0.0.0:27015, and changing server startup commands (+ip) doesn't help showcase the external ip of the server. I'm doubtful that this is the reason why it doesn't show up, but I am worried because my server is legit and steam-only. What can I do to make sure my servers are listed, and is there a way to contact steam regarding this? Thank you.

If the server's IP is not correctly shown in the status tab, how should the steam servers determine its IP to show it in the list?
You need to fix that problem first.

I tried everything but it doesn't show external ip in the status. If I use +ip ExternalIP, no one is able to connect to it anymore. If I don't use +ip command, it shows up the Internal IP instead. The firewall is disabled, and all UDP/TCP ports are allowed. I'm not sure what else I can do to show the correct IP in status instead of 0.0.0.0 or Internal IP.

If no one can connect to your server, then your port forwarding is not correct.

This only happens when the +ip command is set to the external IP itself. This however doesn't happen if the command isn't given, or set to 0.0.0.0 instead. People can connect to my server and it's publicly available, however the steam server list doesn't detect it. I've seen a few servers with 0.0.0.0:port in their status information, but it still shows up in the list for some reason. However mine doesn't, and I have no clue as to why. You can connect to the server using the external IP but the status information doesn't change to reflect that external IP.

Are you behind NAT? If so DMZ that box. Keep the firewall up. Also assuming the networking and firewall is together, using the -nomaster parameter on the startup would make people not see it on the Master Server but still be able to connect.

Having these CVARS too low will do it too.
Code:
//max_queries_sec  16
//max_queries_sec_global  64
//max_queries_window  256

No, I'm not using NAT, and will turn the firewall on. Should I use "-secure -master" start-up parameters? I didn't set the cvars, and also couldn't access the cvars, however, from server variables I was able to get the following:

max_queries_sec 1
max_queries_sec_global 1
max_queries_window 1

Should I change them to the ones you've stated? Also, should I use sv_region 0 or use one according to the place I'm in?

max_queries_sec 1

Increase. That means only 1 person in the world per sec can see your server.

I shared default settings when a server is started in previous post. What is the reason for making this 1 please?

Those were my previous settings. I assumed you meant the cvars you posted were too low and I had to increase them further. I increased them, but yet, I've been unable to see them on the master list. Does it take time for servers to show up on the list, or is it more immediate?
