Can't find official dedicated servers

[V3NOM]

So I just came back to L4D2 and I am trying to find official servers to play but I am always getting the message: "Can't find official dedicated servers".

What could possibly be wrong here?

So far I've tried:

- Setting the port forwarding in my router
- Making sure the windows firewall also has an entry for L4D2
- Changed my Download Region to US-MIAMI
- Installed the "Server Browser" from the workshop and it doesn't find any Internet servers either

Any suggestions or are all the official servers down now?

Maybe try using server browser?

You can get it from steam workshop.

Use the server browser. With the server browser you can very easily find servers. You can see exactly which servers are officially from Valve. You can also search very specifically for servers, coop, versus and so on. When you have found servers where you like to play, you can save them to favorites. You can also easily find the best server near you, provided you have set your download region correctly.

You can access the server browser in several ways. Via dev console type "openserverbrowser". You can also download an add-on and place it in your "addon" folder. You will then find a link with the server browser on your start screen.

Here is the add-on DOWNLOAD[www.gamemaps.com] link.

You don't get it from steamworkshop, it's already in the game. It takes nothing to bind console to a button and then type openserverbrowser on it.

The menu button from workshop isn't needed.

Hey people!

Thank you for your replies. As I stated in the main message, I already tried the Server Browser and it is not finding anything for me

Any other suggestions?

Can you describe what is not working? I posted a screen with numbers that you have to follow. That is just basic and always works.

Regardless of whether you have downloaded the server browser or opened it in-game, simply click the CUSTOM tab. If nothing happens, just click on the internet tab, and then immediately click on custom again. Then just wait a few seconds until you see the servers counter running. Then wait a while until it is completely ready.

To begin with, you should NOT make any changes to the search fields at the bottom of the server browser. If you enter Valve and click on the Internet or custom tab, nothing will happen.

I'm still working on a video to show how it works, but I don't have enough time for it at the moment.

So I gave it a try once again and after selecting the custom tab and pressing the "Refresh" button I got a list of servers...

HOWEVER, these servers are all from India and Asia in general, I don't know where it is picking this location from. Any ideas?

I live in South America but I have my location in Steam set to US-MIAMI. I have no idea why it is getting confused.

Any setting on my router I should check?

Anything somewhere else?

Thank you!

Could you find VALVE servers like shown in This Screen[www.lewd4dead.com] It should pick up the US servers servers. To be honest i'am not sure what they called over there, i'am from Europe, Thats the reason in my screen pop Valve servers up with names like, Valve north, south, west......

Also try to change your location settings in Steam. Make sure clean all Steam history, and restart Steam.

Through what? It takes 5 minutes to add 10 valve servers to favourites on server browser or bind them to lobby so you always join there when you create one.

If you have problems doing such simple task then you have bigger problems to worry about.

People don't have to do that to play the game. People can play the game easily with quick play and online play.

This is just for people who want to play only on certain servers.
