Empty server list - restarting didn't help
« on: August 13, 2011, 03:52:02 am »

Hey, just found out about this project about an hour ago, and got really excited to play it. I immediately downloaded the installer. Having purchased the entire Valve library, needless to say, I have Steam and plenty of Source-based games.

I went into the Steam Tools tab and installed the Source SDK 2007. Per the wiki instructions, after installing the GE:S files, I restarted Steam and booted up.

The server list stayed empty for well over 5 minutes. After checking these forums, and seeing that the usual answer for this was to ensure the install worked and restart Steam, I verified that the correct directory was created (it was), and have restarted Steam 3 times and the whole laptop once too. Still, the server list remains empty.

Is there a second level of troubleshooting past restarting Steam that I can go to next? Thanks!

Uncheck the "Show Maplist" checkbox in the lower left of the server list.

Or use the steam server browser (ie not in the game, right click steam, hit Servers...)

- Are you using the latest release which is 4.1?

- Is it installed under the directory steam/steamapps/sourcemods/gesource?

- Is your firewall blocking the game (hl2.exe)?

Any of these would account for you not seeing any servers.

Also like KM said turning off 'show maplist' in the in-game browser and doing a full refresh will give you a comprehensive list of servers.
