A couple of quick "how to's" questions

You can host a game without using the dedicated server.

Under multiplay just click on server(instead of client) and choose your map and follow the instructions.(buttons)

Your game should show in the server list.

That is what I tried to do; but something isn't working because it doesn't show up, and if they try to join through stream my server "isn't responding".

I host T/S, I host ROF games, so I know about port forwarding and have forwarded the 27015 port, but still, no joy.

Server section will not work if you are behind a router. In this case use Lobby section in MP.

It may take some time for a server to show in server list. Ask friends to use Direct Connect in this case.

If your friends add your server to their Favorites in Steam, it will appear in their Favorites list in game (chose Favorites page instead of Internet in server browser).

Thank you. It seems if I launch from the "Lobby" they can join.
