Most know that you can't or find it hard to use the game lobby to setup a game and connect into Festers. Well, Dharma found something that should cure this for everyone.

You have to use the console to set a cvar but it should get you from the lobby to Festers without to much hassle.

The command is: mm_dedicated_force_servers

You have to specify ip:port but you can set more than one option if you wish.

For Main Server 8 vs 8 you'd need:

Code: Select all

mm_dedicated_force_servers "81.19.209.142:27017"
For the backup 4 vs 4 Server do:

Code: Select all

mm_dedicated_force_servers "81.19.209.142:27018"
Nice find Dharma. WTG! :D :)

EDIT: old cvar has been changed. Post amended to reflect.

you could quick it yous autoexec config file but you could only use one considering the different server setups. If you only want to play 4 v 4 then it would be a good idea.
