[TF2] Using steam://connect with an SDR-enabled server shows "app id specified by server is invalid" #6038

First, I started a dedicated server with -enablefakeip specified. image

I found the FakeIP in the console and used it to create my "steam://connect/169.254.117.240:45576" link, then opened it in my browser. image

Steam showed "unable to connect to server, app id specified by server is invalid." No server details are shown. image

The issue persists in the Steam Client Beta.

There is a workaround that involves making a server that redirects players to the fake ip server For this purpose you can use ours: steam://connect/100.16.56.218:26490/dest=(fakeip)

example: steam://connect/100.16.56.218:26490/dest=169.254.28.123:26444 https://potato.tf/connect/100.16.56.218:26490/dest=169.254.28.123:26444

Do note that the redirect server ip may change, https://potato.tf/api/serverstatus/redirect will return current one
