i made a dedicated server on my pc. everything works just fine, but the server is not showing up on the game list. what can i do to fix that

Ask a friend if your server is visible in the server list, if not its most likely that your ports are being blocked by your firewall.

To join your dedicated server use the "connect" command.

the ports are open that i know for a fact. i have joined my game through console already i just dont see it on the list.

someone please help i really want to get this up and going for my clan.

i got it to work. but the server cfg is not putting it in hardcore mode. even tho that is what i have it set to

Your router just can't query it's own IP address, if you're hosting it on your own PC. Ask someone else if he can see it. If you can connect through the console(which you saif you can), then everything is fine.
