Steam Playerlist & Icons in-game

Post by blue2kx »

I'm having problems with steam in my server. I noticed that I'm not able to retrieve the player list in 'Current Game' and it doesn't register them for 'Previous Games'. Also, when I'm in-game, it doesn't show any steam icons beside the players when looking through the scoreboard in TAB (for 1024x768 resolution or higher). I only see the icons of people on my friend's list.

I solved this before because I didn't define +ip in my command line and it was immediately fixed. However, since then, it returned to its previous state and I'm not sure what's causing it now since I thought I fixed it before..

Those don't sound like server problems, but glitches in your individual Steam client. If you think they're permanent issues (and not just due to a temporary Steam outage), you might try verifying your VCFs: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_art ... -QEUH-3335 or even reinstalling Steam.

I'll try that for myself, however, when I visit other servers, it seems to be working perfectly fine and other friends of mine report this on my server.

I haven't seen a problem like that caused by a server before. Are you running any sort of firewall on the server machine? Is the game server printing any errors to its console?

I didn't run any type of firewall on the server or do any tweaks with it besides installing games. I wouldn't have been able to do it anyway because of my limited knowledge with linux.

It didn't print any errors either. I'm still not sure what caused it but I eventually reinstalled since I switched OS and it's fine now. Weird thing is that I had another server on there before as well and it was working just fine. I looked through the steam forums and saw only one thread that had this problem but it didn't get any replies.

Very odd, indeed. I'm glad that you're not having the problem now, though.
