hi, i can not increase the slots for a dedicated server (4 slots), in the past i used left4downtown and dhooks but these extensions are not working anymore with the game, and with the new sourcemod releases, its there an alternative way ?

L4D2 lobby limit is 4 by default for COOP and 8 for VERSUS

after the lobby limit anyone else must connect via STEAM GROUP or the IP ADDRESS directly using console
I suggest setting up a STEAM GROUP adding your server to the STEAM GROUP and asking players to connect via the STEAM GROUP

adding these to your server.cfg

sv_steamgroup "" // GROUP ID NUMBER (Example "1234567") ( https://steamcommunity.com/groups/yourgroup/edit )
sv_search_key "" // DESCRIBE GROUP *A-Z NO SPACE OR SYMBOLS* (Example "ServerRework")
sv_steamgroup_exclusive "" // 0 for anyone may start a game on your server or 1 for must be in the group to use it

but i getting that error using connect "ip" in console

[canadianjeff]

I seem to have solved this too with killing the lobby reservation so it says "unreserved" in status the big issue is people you block and block you can join at this point
