    Hey all,

    I decided to fire up CS:S last week, and I was unable to find any servers whatsoever.

    Apparently this is a well documented issue in the community, and can be fixed by replacing the masterservers file, but everyone who mentions this solution neglects to provide a link to where an updated file can be downloaded. Can anyone here help a brother out?

    This problems happens sometimes too often. Try this:

    Create a server with bots, play for 2-3 mins, then exit the game and restart the Steam application. If that doesn't fix it delete the 'clientreg.blob' in your Steam folder and then restart.
