Problem connection server

[main shell]

Impossible to join a public server, a message says connection lost, yet I am online. If I create a server, no one can join me. Everything worked perfectly before. This is the first time I have a problem with the game. I reinstalled the game and the problem is still there.

This is a common issue with hosting a public server for some reason.

Host Starts Server
Host Changes # of Slots
Server Must Restart to Prevent "Connection Lost" Errors

There may be other parameters causing it, but that's what I could nail down in testing.

There's also a nasty little server-join bug where when a player enters and leaves a server, no matter how they join a different server, they will default back to the original server until they close the game and start over.

interesting, we will investigate

Easiest way to test: anyone joining you from the Steam friends list always defaults to the first server the friend connected to when they first launched the game.

For example, if I connect to "Joe's Server," leave, and join another server (say, "Bill's Server") the second someone clicks "Join Game" from the Steam menu, they will connect to "Joe's Server" even though I am no longer there.
