Hi all,

It's the first time for me I created a server for L4D2 and i have some question and one problem and I can't resolve them.

The server run and I can join them, other people can't see it. When I'm in my server other player don't see the server where I'm in "info game"

1) The properties for launch the serveur with the shortcut of the srcds is:

C:\L4D2\left4dead2\srcds.exe -console -game left4dead2 -ipxx.xx.xxx.xxx -port 27015 +exec server.cfg +maxplayers 12 +map c5m1_waterfront

Good or not good?

2) The server.cfg is good for run a L4D2 server, I found him in internet but I think he have many error or many properties not necessary for the server:

//Host and RCON settings
hostname "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
rcon_password "xxxxxx"
sv_password ""

3) The problem:
When I launch the serv I see "connection to Steam servers succesfull" that's a good thinks but my serv doesn't exist for other player in the Steam group server and player can't join the server.

I have open the port on my modem like that

What can explicit the server is not see by other palyers?
Forgot somethings to do for the server can run normally?

Thanks for you're help, i try to find alone the response but i don't found them. Google is not my friend in that case

Edit1: little precision, the serveur is in my pc and not on other dedicated. My pc run with windows7

Ps: English is not my mother tongue excuse me

hmmm.. try remove -ip and -port from launch parameters.
Check after you have launch server with command, status
Waht IP and port you have gained ?

And try also disable/comment
//sv_lan 0
//sv_region 255

Those are default anyway even not add in server.cfg

*edit
Why title have L4D1 ??
[L4D1] Server don't see by other player

[Kanga]

Thx for your response, i'm go change that and see IG the ip and port

*edit Why title have L4D1 ?? [L4D1] Server don't see by other player

Fail sorry, it's for L4D2^^
I trie to change the title but I can't edit this...


Edit:
I disable the command sv_lan 0 and sv_region 255 nothing change the serveur run normally.

The status command give the response for ip
IP: 192.168.0.12
port: 27015

what's the suite...

You have separatelly some ports...
Try set bigger range, like
UDP 27000 - 27030
TCP 27014 - 27050
And check also firewall.

NAT mostly give some troubles when host or playing multiplayer games.
Personally, I have disabled this...

*edit
Ignore my previous post and look if this help you.

Here is better instructions
