[BUG] Dedicated server sv_steamgroup is incorrect

[WreckTangled]

When using "sv_steamgroup ID" the ID is incorrect and links to another steamgroup, apparently steam groups recently made are not numerically correct in L4D2 and are a few numbers off of the actual group ID. Groups made in 2016 or before work fine but newly made groups have this issue.

Weird. You asked HERE almost the same, yesterday, you said it worked. You should check, and use your group ID, and not use the official L4D2 group ID.

Thanks a lot for answering, see i've been using that and it does work but the plugin only supports 1 single group ID so i won't be able to be on the L4D2 group servers list sadly, sorta stuck :(.

Edit: I guess i can put my MOTD to my steamgroup link and thats how i can do it lmao only choice i have i guess thanks a lot for the help once again :D

Edit2: For anyone thats wondering newly made steam groups IDs are wrong in L4D2 and not numerically correct and are usually a few numbers off for some reason, maybe we could report this bug but not sure if valve looks at L4D2 anymore.

Hello. So when you set "sv_steamgroup" to the ID from your Steam Group's, it isn't working properly?

How are the numbers off exactly?

Can anyone else confirm this issue happens to them as well?

Any information you can give would be helpful. Thanks!

Yea the numbers are for some reason off on newly created groups before 2016, this plugin here actually fixes the issue if you want to take a look at it the plugin also gives more insight on the problem https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2544331 but the problem with the plugin is that it only supports 1 group, so you can't have multiple group IDs using the plugin.

Thanks for the link, that explains the issue perfectly.

I'll be sure to pass along the info over to Valve.

[WreckTangled]

Alright thanks a lot :)

Please let me know if this issue is solved

[Rayman1103]

Sure thing, I'll let you know if this issue gets resolved.

It probably won't be looked into until after Half-Life: Alyx ships though, just to let you know.
