Garry's Mod (Paid Version) Retrieving Server List Issue

[Uollie20]

I just bought Garry's Mod off Steam last night and I can play singleplayer perfectly fine. But when I try to play online with a friend I get all sorts of issues.

First off I can't join my own server by starting a "Create Multiplayer" server. I get a "Invalid Steam UserID ticket error" and it boots me.

Another issue I have is I can't retrieve not even ONE server from the server list. I have all the filters correct, I'm positive I'm not accidentally overlooking something minor that might cause me to not see any servers.

I've tried to have my friend find a server and I try to join his server through steam by "join game" and it will try to connect but then fails by time out.

Please, anyone who can help me I will greatly appreciate it. I mainly think I need to forward my ports or something. But I'm not very experienced with IP addresses and the sort.

Oh wow. Pirated. :fuckoff:

Sounds like you are either using a pirated copy, or you need to adjust your router settings to open the ports Garry's Mod uses. I had a similar problem with not being able to find many servers, then I forwarded all the necessary ports and it worked fine after that.

Is kind of obvious when you point out that you have a (Paid version).

Oh yeah, Wrong Forum. :fuckoff:

These issues should be fixed by buying the game.

Or is it another named urlfan20 on steam?

He sounds legit, a lot of people say Paid Version to lie. But I think he did that, so they don't SUSPECT him being warez, when he didn't already.
