As the topic says "Could not contact master game server to retrieve server list."

If anyone knows how I can rectify this situation, please inform the less wise.

I'm not a noob so it's not just filters or the wrong tab. This particular computer IS

on an exceptionally slow internet connection. It's wireless cable, but several other

computers are also hooked up so it goes very slowly. Thanks in advance .

steam servers seem to be up.

you can probably just restart and it will fix.

it is possible that there is a bad hop somewhere in your connection to Steam.

all in all, wait/reboot is probably the answer

thanks i will try that
