    Hi,
    ask your friend with the server if he opened the Steam Ports in his firewall.
    Standard installation there are the Ports UDP 64298 + 64299
    If he set the dedicated.exe in his firewall he has to open these ports, too.

    If he adited used Ports for this server he has set up the next 2 Ports from his chosen HTTP server Port.

    e.g. HTTP Server Port: 50000
    Simulation Port: 60000

    He has to open the Ports UDP + TCP 60000
    TCP 50000
    UDP 50001 + 500002

    After this you´ll see his server in Steam MM

    I to have this issue. Some of the members in my group have moved over to steam and could only see 3 out of 5 servers in the list. After finding out about the new ports I realised I had a conflict with these ports. I reset the ports for each server and now the steam users can't see any servers in the list. It doesn't matter what I do all servers are available for non-steam and steam can't see any servers.

    The ports I'm using are

    Server 1
    54197 UDP+TCP
    64197 TCP
    64198 UDP
    64199 UDP

    Server 2
    54297 UDP+TCP
    64297 TCP
    64298 UDP
    64299 UDP

    Server 3
    54397 UDP+TCP
    64397 TCP
    64398 UDP
    64399 UDP

    Server 4
    54497 UDP+TCP
    64497 TCP
    64498 UDP
    64499 UDP

    Server 5
    54597 UDP+TCP
    64597 TCP
    64598 UDP
    64599 UDP

    Hi Nib,
    I've read somewhere (can't find where though) that restarting the server box (not just the servers)may fix that problem. Haven't actually seen anyone confirm that though.

    Hope that helps

    Cheers

    Host and clients must open ports.
    This are rF2 default ports which members must open :
    54297 TCP + UDP
    64297 TCP
    64298 UDP
    64299 UDP

    You can use CurrPorts to find out what ports your dedicated servers are using. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html
    You simply start server 1 first and look from CurrPorts which ports it is using and open them in your router, then you shut down server 1 and launch server 2............and so on.

    :)

    Thanks Goanna ...I did do that. I have also now just installed a steam server following these instructions https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=553088396 and still the same issue. Steam users can't see the servers.

    Clients should not have to open any ports.

    My server 2 is using the default ports and the one I'm testing first.

    I have tested every server with cports and each server is using the same ports I have listed above. Still only non steam can see the servers

    And still without opening ports as a client. I can't see all the servers. For example the apex server i couldn't find last week.

    WhiteShadow told me to open ports but haven't done that till now because i'm kind off busy.
