I tried to port forward, but, I haven't figured out why still players can't join my server. Maybe I did it wrong, maybe some mumbo jumbo with files, idk.

Help needed.

You have created TF2 server using SteamCMD ?

[CX47103]

Yes, I think.

Also, both the server and my game client are running on the same machine, so maybe that is why I can join the server, even when other people cannot.

...do people really download and using random TF2 installation *.exe programs ? Holy cow.
That is scary quide for me.

Well, I saw a lot of people saying stuff about it in the comments, so... I figured out that it is probably safe ^-^

So, like, is that download the problem? Do I need to download a clean SteamCMD, and some plugins on it?

[Bacardi]

...well, try continue with that.

In router you made port forward.

*edit
Problem could be that, you run server and own game in same machine. You maybe need set different ports to server so your own game not take those.

How do I set a different port to the server so my own game will not take it?

[Bacardi]

try add inside ...cfg/server.cfg file

hostport 27016
clientport 27030

Will this server appear in the "Friends" list? Do the people have to use the Public IP that is being put on the end of the server log, before anyone joins, or my PC's IP? I was always telling my friends to test out all of them, but, I wish to know which to use, to save time, and to not annoy them, really, heheh...

Nvm, figured out whatever happened in this comment.

The port still shows up as 27015 in the server log tho.
