1. Unfortunately it appears that the physical machine hosting our game servers is offline. Chances are that the appropriate people have already been notified and action is being taken. If this notice is up for extended periods, there is probably a wait-and-see situation such as a power or link outage. Thanks for your patience. (9:56:10 UTC)

Why Qtracker For Server Links?

    Hey guys,

    Why are server links using the qtracker protocol? It's a $20 app - though there is a free version (not sure how neutered it is).
    Is there another way to launch Steam games?! Especially if they're direct links to servers?

    Just a thought.

    QTracker is free, $20 if you choose to support it.

    I believe he means under "Tools" on the right-hand menu, then "Server List". I ran into that issue as well yesterday. Didn't realize we had to have QTracker.

    >_< D'oh. Should be fixed now, using steam://connect to open TF2 directly.
