Please help...In trying to play HL2-DeathMatch for the first time, I get the error message,
"Could not contact master game server to retrieve server list,"

which means I cannot find any servers on which to play.

I already researched steampowered.com and halflife2.net's forums and have checked all my firewall settings as advised, and validated my GCF's. I have already been connected to and playing CounterStrike successfully.

Thanks in advance--curlydog
 
Have you tried searching for servers through Steam?
Left-click on Steam Tray Icon
Select "Servers"
Select "Half-Life 2: Deathmatch"
Let it search for servers.

If that doesn't work, exit Steam and delete the Clientregistry.blob in the Steam folder. (First make a backup by copying the file somewher else, just in case)
