Dedicated Server not showing up for SOME people... help anyone?

[Chameleon]

Ok, So I had a dedicated server running last night with no problems. I was able to see it in the "Internet Games" tab, as was my wife. And, we also had plenty of random internet users joining the server, so we thought all was great!...

However, when I had about 2 of our friends look for our server in the "Internet Games" list, they couldn't find it... why might this be?

Given we had random internet users joining in our server, it seemed to me like it was probably showing up for them in the list just fine. So it makes no sense why our two friends couldn't find it listed (and they refreshed the list several times, with no luck).

Any help on this issue would be appreciated! Thanks!

The in game browser does not show all servers correctly at the moment. Use the steam server browser, your server will be listed there.

Actually, it's not. I don't even see my own server in the Steam Server Browser, while i myself can see it in the in-game browser. So this is not an answer to my issue. Thanks for the reply though!

I have something to add to the server not appearing thing. my server will not show up in either the steam browser or the KF browser. I can join through the lan browser all my ports are fowarded and others have joined my server. However my friends cannot join on me but random chaps from the internet tell me it shows up fine in their browsers?

I have tried opening the server directly from the game as dedicated as well as using the tutorial way. My router is a linksys WRT54GS router with speed boost.

Hope you can help, thanks Sren

Have you tried enabling "ServerBehindNAT=True" in KillingFloor.ini?

Will this be fixed in the server patch your making?

I remember having a smiliar problem with Source servers.

Im not quite sure how these are the same but im pretty sure they both have to sign up to the Valve/Source masterservers.

Restart your server, check the console, and make sure it connects to the masterservers. If its not in there it wont show up in serverbrowers

I noticed that sometimes if the server is not up to date it won't show in the server list.

Shutting down the server, updating the server and then starting server again fixes this almost instantly. At least for me. :c)
