I know those DDOS attacks returned

If you haven't noticed your group servers have stopped showing up in l4d2. It's not your servers problem. Reloaded both of mine and they can be seen in HLSW and in FTP but not in l4d2. Apparently the last update broke that function. I guess we wait for an update / fix now from steam. Just trying to save you some troubleshooting. Peace.

lotta spam or whatever flyin around atm folks be careful with unknown links, even if its from someone in your list!!

kchoskrner is our groupserver and unfortunately there is only one atm. im not sure about your groupserver list but there could be more than one server related to a group.

How many servers does this group have? Just asking cause i got servers in my steam group servers 18 to be exact and i dont know where they came from. Can anyone tell me how they got on there if this group only got one server? I only got 3 groups and 2 of them don't got servers attached to it.

This is gonna hurt!

Schrodinger's Inception comments!

It's been a while since someone commented.

thx for invite

I saw you and my friend, eddywhite89, playing that. Good stuff! :)

Check out Dead Vacation L4D2

If you aren't already on the mailing list and you run a server, you should subscribe:
https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

We announce changes to servers, new ways of doing things, warn of upcoming updates and in the case of the beta, let people know the active beta depot last week was what we were going to ship this week in case they wanted to test against it.

Warning - this is for server operators only, it is not a general list for L4D2.

- Added support for dedicated servers to load addons from the "workshop" subdirectory. Fixes consistency errors when playing workshop campaigns on dedicated servers.

NOTE TO SERVER OPERATORS: To host workshop campaigns on your dedicated server, they should now be placed in the same location as on the client (/left4dead2/addons/workshop/…) Campaigns not downloaded from the workshop can still go in the "addons" directory.

What if I told you... that you can play the original Mario Brothers arcade game, while playing Super Mario Brothers 3 for the NES, in the Super Mario All Stars remake, run on an SNES emulator for the Wii, using a Wii U emulator, in a Windows virtual machine, running on Linux, inside the matrix?

Not sure how much this will matter to may of you, but just so you guys will know I own a gaming community that is faily large, in left 4 Dead 2, and we've designed our own client that we let people custom content from. We use it to keep content and maps uniform on our servers and player side. Right now we run over 50 custom maps and tons of content on all 40 of our L4D2 servers. We have both modded and non modded servers, and actively promote Custom Content. Further we have close to 30 techs and are hunting more for several projects we are working on. If any of you are interested find us at: http://gtm.you1.cn/groups/DLRGaming

We also have 5 TF2 and 5 CSS servers, and are planning many more. All of our servers are designed to foster teamwork. In fact if you don't do it you will likely die.
