GoldSrc master server doesn't respond #50

Closed koraktor closed 14 years ago

koraktor commented 14 years ago

Querying the GoldSrc master server doesn't work right now. The server (hl1master.steampowered.com) just won't return any data. I just pushed a small patch (2b4fcf18b212b2026adb1b58e2fa3896fa0c975f) fixing infinte loops while querying the GoldSrc master (or unresponsive master servers in general). This is just a improvement for user experience, but does not fix the real problem.

I still haven't found a real way to fix this, but I had a look at Steam's list of master servers (config/MasterServers.vdf). There are some server's using port 27013 (opposed to 27010 that's documented here). Changing the port inside the code to 27013 (without changing the host hl1master.steampowered.com) will bring up results. So this seems to be at least a good workaround. I don't know if this will work forever, but right now, there isn't any other solution.

I've fixed this in cb532018e6d653237e1df8a51450f1c7c41c08b2.
