    Hi how steam server works . I think you don't need server for games like L4d . Player hosts a server his own Pc. Is there any tutorial for this or does It just work like normal server If so I will look multiplayer games tutorial

    In order to publish your multiplayer game on Steam, you need to implement your transport with SteamWorks, I recommend you to check out Facepunch transport, which made easy to implement steam connections with C#.

    In fact, matchmaking in L4D works like this: When the user clicks create server, a random empty server is selected from the pool of dedicated Valve servers (officially launched) and the user becomes its administrator
