"Refreshing server list..." and it goes on and on forever.

I tried turning off windows firewall and that didn't even work.

-Port forwarding
-disabling the firewall
-restarting steam
-reinstalling the game
-reinstalling steam
-restarting my computer

Make a proper exception in Windows Firewall. Even if WF is off, it will still somewhat block whatevers not on it's exception list. It's dumb.

Check your hosts file.

C:\Windows\sysWOW64\drivers\etc\hosts (64 bit)
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (32 bit)

Copy and paste what's in it and post.

I don't use a 32 bit OS but the drivers folder in sysWOW64 doesn't even have an etc folder.

I just realized my windows is super out of date.

Maybe updating will fix this?
