[CS1.6] Steam Networking Servers no longer listed in the master server list
Splatt581 opened this issue · comments
Some time ago, the Steam Networking listen servers (with 169.254 fakeip subnet) stopped being displayed in server browser - the master server stopped sending them in the general list of servers.
This problem is not observed in other GoldSrc games. I believe the problem arose due to the large number of servers in CS 1.6, now more than 20k of them have been added to the master server due to fake redirect servers.
@kisak-valve and will you fix the fake servers / fake count problem finally? a simple filter like "max X ports per ip" would already cut down the flood of fake servers. i am sure you have better solutions...
@Splatt581 It works fine for me, so I'm unable to reproduce the issue you've mentioned. Does it occur occasionally? It might be that no players were hosting using the new "Steam Networking" feature in CS 1.6 at the time. I suggest you also verify using the following web API for discrepancies: https://api.steampowered.com/IGameServersService/GetServerList/v1/?key=YOUR_API_KEY&filter=appid\10, servers with FakeIPs should be listed at the beginning.
@that-is-not-great No need to hijack this issue thread for your unrelated problem, which is already being tracked at #2064.

Yeah, I had previously used this webapi endpoint for a test and the steam networking servers were there. I am inclined to believe that my serverbrowser stopped receiving steam networking servers when many farmers fake servers appeared on the master server (more than 20k in total).
