Initially, I couldn’t locate any servers. After roughly two and a half hours of searching forums where people shared similar issues, I finally discovered a few—about thirty. I was thrilled when the game connected to one. Of course, connecting timed out during setup. I’ve managed to bypass the firewall and downloaded the MasterServer.vdf and MasterServer2.vdf files. I can set up my own server, but it seems others struggle with the same problem. I’m also able to play games with bots without trouble, including CS:GO, so it’s not a Source issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
