Steam validation rejected
i see that "everyone" in the server today is a bot - i can't get in - all i get is steam validation rejected - i can get in all the other servers, no problem.....
i updated the server yesterday with an update from valve that was supposed to fix that problem and the cpu usage prob that makes it get all herky and jerky.. if i can't get a fix for it i will try and see what i can get done.

Re: Steam validation rejected
this is still an ongoing battle with valve lol
they have been running a fix for a couple of weeks as a beta and it seemed to be doing the trick but when they released it as a non-beta i went ahead and did the update.. seems to have been a mistake.. they released another beta fix lastnight but it's only for hl2 source servers. still waiting on a fix for hl1 servers. in the meantime i will have to restart the server often to get it to let me peeps get on..
Re: Steam validation rejected
if you've had probs for 3 days then it's not the server..i didn't do any updates til thursday afternoon.
and along those lines i replaced some of the steam networking files as suggested by the valve programmer this am before i came to work this am ..hopefully it will take care of the problem. if anyone has the steam login denied problem today please post it here on the forum. it will have to wait til i get home tho as i'm not the network admin here at the new job and i can't get access thru the proper ports to do any admin work on the server...

WELL I GOT HOME YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND THE SERVER WAS AT IT AGAIN AND REBOOTED IT WAS STILL WORKING OK THIS AM , BUT I WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED OUT THE FILE AGAIN WITH THE NEW BETA RELEASE ONE, BEFORE I CAME TO WORK TODAY. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE LOG IN PROB.
Re: Steam validation rejected
OK! it's pushing 14hrs since i did the work on the server this am and restarted, and it's still going without having the authentication error problem. so, i'm going to go ahead and say we're good to go.. i ended up using some steam networking files for the new beta source dedicated servers.. don't laugh, it's working. lol
Re: Steam validation rejected
haven't heard any more complaints, and i seem to have about 100 hrs of runtime on the server without the validation error now, or at least i haven't seen any on the console. how's it working for you drifter?
