Got 3 working servers up. Not gonna bother with ports, I'll just leave it standard and give everyone different ip's.

You're wrong, if you have the files you don't even have to own the game.

OMG, Perfect! I was already creating a service to run steam on my servers as SYSTEM, otherwise it didn't work with the tcadmin servers, lol.

By tests obviously. Don't think they care enough to tell us about it.

Confirmed, you HAVE to run steam in order for the servers to show in the list. The account doesn't need to own the game though. Luckily I have some spare accounts in my back pocket.

I found the issue, or atleast, i think I did. When running the server trough steam it shows up in the list, once you shut down steam and start the server, it doesn't. So it seems like there's some sort of steam authentication going on in the back-end anyway.

I think it has something to do with the US master servers, cause I only see EU and russian servers in the list and I'm pretty sure they aren't limiting it by continent.

Does it say that it cannot connect to the steam master servers but still shows it, or is it able to connect to the master servers?

But what are the port settings you used to get your server online?

no, queryport is for public servers, port for private. masterserverport is the actual queryport

*snip* forums didn't reload correctly so i didn't see the replies.

You just need steam to download the files, the server can run without.

I see servers in the list, but they all seem european, so I'm installing a European server now to see how the master server respond there.

Apparently there is no multi-home compat, so you'll have to work off of different installs.

Could we see the port settings as shown when it's starting?
