steam://connect not working for community servers
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

When you run this command on an official server, it works.
But when we run the same command with an IP of a community server, it doesn't work.

I even tried on a community server without and with mods, but unfortunately without success.

I want to clarify that I tried with game port [2302] and steam port [27016].

This would be used to join a friend in game through their Steam profile.

Hello AlexAnimateMp4.
Is your goal to just connect to a specific community server through command or is the goal to join onto a server your friend is playing (without possibly knowing the exact server?).
The second is probably not possible but the first we could help with, as there is a direct connect parameter that can be added to your executable or as a launcher command.

Hello @Geez excuse me for my response time.
What is this direct connection parameter?
This would be possible without knowing the localization of the game and without using the executable of the game?
And just by running a Steam command?

Hello AlexAnimateMp4.
What is it that you are specifically trying to do? Any specific reason why do you want to run the game through commands without using the executable etc?
