Hi guys,

I've searched everywhere but still can't find an answer to this problem.

What happens is when I create a game and the lobby fills up, I search for a dedicated server, the game connects - and then immediately after connecting it comes up with the red text in the top left corner saying connection timed out.

I've opened ports on my router configuration for Steam and L4D, and i've also checked my Windows Firewall and that is allowing L4D and Steam access.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks
 
I also have this problem. Every time i play the game now it can take 5 attempts before it will continue without 'server disconnection'. Starting to put me off playing.
 
I have nothing but trouble with l4d tbh. I don't think I've had a single time where I have started a lobby, got a server first time, loaded in first time, not been disconnected straight away and not been disconnected somewhere, normally on new section loads.

Some days are worse than others but I pretty much always get an issue somewhere along the line. Odd thing is if someone else starts the lobby/game I get a lot less problems. though still never perfect.

Oh and my flat mate who goes through the same router doesn't have any where near as many issues.
 
Have you tried using the "sv_search_key ocuk" console command? That will ensure that your lobby will find the ocuk left4dead group servers - so you can at least rule the server out as a possible cause :)
