3. If you choose the in-game console, once you're connected to the server, press the `(tilde key) on your keyboard. Type in rcon_password <your rcon password> then press Enter. Then type in status once again and it should show up the following lines, showing information of the server and the players connected:

Take note of the players' IP address or SteamID, following format: STEAM_x:x:xxxxxxxx where “x” stands for numbers.
